Over 3.7 thousand educational initiatives and over 2.2 thousand building highlights have already been submitted as part of the nationwide Campaign Without Violence, run by the We Give Children Strength and the National Coalition for the Protection of Children. There are already 5,666 places on the initiative map, which together show that childhood should be a time of security, joy and development – free from violence. The organizers remind us that each of us can be part of the change and build a culture of responding to violence.

When schools, kindergartens, institutions and companies join forces, we create a real network of good. We encourage you to register your educational initiatives and join the red lighting campaign on November 19. Each red light is a symbol of opposition to violence. Together, let us show that every child in Poland has the right to grow up in a world based on respect, safety and care – emphasizes Monika Sajkowska, leader and initiator of the Childhood Without Violence campaign.

Education that gives power – free webinars and online lessons

The Childhood Without Violence Campaign is not only symbolic highlights, but above all a wide educational offer addressed to adults and children.

As part of the project, free webinars are available for parents and professionals – teachers, psychologists, educators, health care workers and social services. Online meetings conducted by experts of the We give children strength Foundation help to better understand the problem of violence and teach how to react effectively in everyday situations.

Among the topics discussed during webinars there are, among others Issues related to child violence – participants learn how to recognize its signals, what procedures to undertake and how to effectively support the child and his family. Experts also discuss the challenges of new technologies, including online child safety, privacy protection, and building healthy digital habits in the family.

A special place in the program is occupied by the “Gadki” project – the author’s initiative of the We give children the strength that helps adults talk to children about their borders, safety and body in a simple, natural way and adapted to the age of the child.

Online lessons have also been prepared for students, during which children learn to recognize emotions, build relationships and react in difficult situations. All materials and lesson plans are available free of charge on the campaign website: Dziecienstwobezprzemocy.pl/webinary-i-lekje-2025

The manifesto of childhood without violence – a symbol and real action

One of the pillars of the campaign is a non-violent childhood manifesto that anyone can sign.

— By signing the manifesto, we show, not only symbolically, that we do not agree to hurt children. We give a clear signal: we want a world where every child feels safe and loved. Everyone who joins the action receives a campaign ally certificate and an additional set of educational materials, including the “Good Parent Pack”. These are practical tools that help you talk to your children, build a bond with them, and react when they are hurt. Thanks to this, we not only change the world, but also set an example and inspire others, so that they also have the courage to protect their childhood – emphasizes Renata Szredzińska, president of the We Give Children Strength Foundation.
