Abstract: The educational programme of reading “With Books We Beat Violence” is part of the attempt to create good practices in the understanding and prevention of SVB (School Violence and Bullying). It is a collection of literary children’s books (a total of 25) on a specific subject (SVB) for the information and awareness raising of Primary School students of matters concerning prevention and dealing with phenomena of school violence and bullying. The programme has been incessantly held in the past few years, its duration is two months and addresses Primary School students of both sexes. In the first phase, the books of the programme (school year 2015–2016) had been utilized in class by the teachers through reading, conversation, concern activities and creative expression (e.g., art workshop). In the second phase (school years 2016–2017 & 2017–2018), the students borrow the book to read at home along with the leaflet and the impression notebook. Next, each student presents their book in class and a conversation follows, during which the other students ask questions. This activity is enriched with experiential drama activities (role play, frozen picture, hot chair). In the school years 2018–2019 & 2019–2020, the programme was held for a 4th consecutive year and 5th year respectively. The programme was designed and held by a school teacher.
