Public Relations Campaign “Prohibition of Violence in Education”

(V.D.04) Healthcare, (V.D.05) Safety

In the course of the next 2 to 3 years, a 3-phase campaign in cooperation with an advertising agency is to lead to intensive public relations work under the heading “Prohibition of violence in education”. From the previous implementation experiences of an intensive campaign phase in 2019 and 2020, as well as a reduced and focussed campaign continuation in 2021 and 2022, it was possible to derive learnings and identify decisive success factors. Based on these, the campaign was redesigned. The final preparations for the start of campaign phase 1 are currently underway.
