Abstract submission

Throughout the congress there will be several activities such as:

- Plenary conferences, where renowned researchers in the field of school coexistence, school climate and school violence have been invited, some of them with extensive experience in the design of public policies for their prevention.

- Roundtables, through a format of conversations between experts and professionals, which seek to deepen key aspects of research on school coexistence, school climate and school violence, reflecting on how to advance in the design, implementation and evaluation of public policies.The round tables are organized at the invitation of the scientific/organizing committee.

- Methodological workshops, which correspond to exercises to support quantitative and qualitative analysis and mixed designs, aimed at strengthening the research skills of the participants.These workshops are aimed at researchers and university professors participating in the Congress.

- Experiential workshops, which are exercises for experimenting with educational strategies aimed at strengthening the educational intervention skills of the participants.These workshops are aimed at non-university teaching staff participating in the Congress.

- Symposia, which organize a minimum of three and a maximum of four papers around a common theme.The symposia are proposed by the authors themselves and selected by the scientific committee and evaluators.Symposia are proposed within one of the three thematic areas of the Congress, and correspond to original research results unpublished or published during the last two years.They can be presented in Spanish, Portuguese or English.

- Oral communications, which correspond to individual presentations of original research results unpublished or published during the last two years. Oral communications must be submitted within one of the three thematic areas of the Congress. They may be presented in Spanish, Portuguese or English.

– Meaningful Experiences Video, these videos are presentations of various experiences and lessons learned in the context of work or research activities that have been carried out in organizations related to the educational field. These videos compile experiences that are representative of the diverse challenges, approaches and methodologies used within the educational sector, covering a wide variety of contexts and situations that allow a deeper understanding of the impact of initiatives in the school, academic and social spheres.
