OPEN THE BOOK, OPEN THE HEART: THE ROLE OF NOVELS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE PREVENTION OF PEER VIOLENCE

Summary/Abstract: Violence is a complex concept that can occur in different forms and contexts. It is defined as the use of physical, emotional, psychological or verbal force against another person or group. Violence is a form of aggressive behavior that occurs between children or adolescents in the same age or age group and can affect the victim in the form of physical abuse, emotional problems, social isolation and other negative consequences. Violence is often perpetrated through the Internet or digital technologies; this is known as online violence or cyberbullying. Because of the serious consequences of the use of top-level violence, it is important to establish preventive measures to tackle it, because it is a serious and significant problem that requires an integrated approach in society, school and the community. The youth novel "Orfejeva lira", which, among other themes such as intergenerational relations and the nature of construction and the help of sport in building character, also deals with the subject of violence at school, can help to combat violence in a number of ways: Awareness raising; empathic understanding; identification; building courage; fostering dialogue; learning conflict resolution; autonomy and the development of self-reflective intelligence that encourages thinking with one's own mind. Together, these factors can contribute to creating a safer, more respectful school environment and reducing the incidence of bullying. According to the latest data in Slovenia, more than 30% of young people are victims of violence. This means that we must do everything we can to prevent peer violence.
