100 Parents and Pupils “Clicked” with Danish SSP Police Officers

20th of March the town of Knjazevac, Serbia, hosted a group of 100 children and parents plus around 30 Conflict and Crime Prevention staff from Serbia and Bosnia. Together they all participated in a typical Danish SSP meeting held by the two Danish police officers, Marianne Baggesgaard Blandebjerg and Claus Bjørn Nielsen, who have worked with the crime prevention program SSP in Denmark for 30 years.
Here the parents and the children used so-called clickers to answer questions concerning social exaggerations. Marianne and Claus managed to show how we usually have misleading preconceptions about improper use of alcohol and smoking. Furthermore, they told how this could reproduce an increase of own consumption.
This meeting was a part of a CCP Seminar. At the seminar, the gathered CCP staff from Serbia and Bosnia had the opportunity to get into dialogue with each other and to share best practice with their Danish colleagues, Marianne and Claus.
The day after, they had a group work on an illustration of the CCP work, the CCP Tree, where they placed pictures from their activities on a poster by defining and analyzing their local crime prevention actions.
