As a supplement to our popular workshop programme, the conference Project Forum aims to bring a wider range of local  'good practice' projects to the attention of delegates at the conference and to help organisations network more effectively with others who are specifically interested in their area of work.

Public local organisations and NGOs wishing to participate in the Project Forum should contact us at conference@esn-eu.org for further details regarding the availability of spaces.

Projects that will be presented in the Forum during the 2012 conference include:

'Learning to fight fair”: stopping the cycle of domestic violence
Social Welfare Office of the City of Stuttgart, Germany
NGO "Sozialberatung Stuttgart", Germany

Stuttgart’s ‘Fair fight’ training programme is a collaborative effort between the traditionally ‘’divorced’ services for offenders and victims in situations of domestic violence, which aims to equip couples with new tools for future conflict avoidance and resolution. It is aimed at couples affected by domestic violence who do not want to separate and those who have separated but must take common decisions regarding the upbringing of their children and questions of child custody.
