The module is divided into 3 sessions and covers 2-3 topics per double lesson (approximately 90 minutes):
- knowledge about emotions for less violence in schools,
- the importance of emotions for preventing school violence,
- contextual understanding of the emotions of violence,
- interpersonal violence and emotions,
- selected "risk" understandings of emotions,
