Child Protection Standards: How to Wisely Prevent Child Abuse in Cultural Institutions
This session will focus on the implementation of child protection standards, providing participants with the knowledge needed to create a safe environment for children and youth. Special attention will also be given to the topic of recognizing signs of abuse, particularly:
Topics covered during the meeting will include:
- What are the forms of child abuse?
- How can a child communicate that they are being harmed?

The program will also include methods of responding to situations that violate children’s safety. The following key topics will be addressed:
- How to protect a child once they revealed abuse by an adult or peer?
