How are the processes of increasing ethnic and racial diversity reflected in European schools? How do children and educators experience and perceive interethnic relations in schools? This book examines the issues of interethnic coexistence, the management of ethnic diversity, xenophobic and racial attitudes and, in particular, the under-researched topic of interethnic violence among children in the school environment. Drawing together qualitative and quantitative data across five European countries it offers an insight into the views, personal experiences and responses of children from different ethnic backgrounds to interethnic violence in European schools. International contributors from England, Slovenia, Cyprus, Italy and Austria come together to provide a comparative study of experiences of interethnic conflict and violence in primary and secondary school classrooms. Each chapter focuses on positive measures that can combat discrimination, providing examples of good practice as well as considering the position of the school in promoting citizenship in an increasingly global world. By examining the experiences and perspectives of children, educators and experts, the book provides up-to-date research findings in the field and suggests key mechanisms for addressing interethnic violence in schools. With support, schools can play a key role in alleviating interethnic tensions and combatting ethnocentrism through the implementation of strong policies, acting as ‘protected spaces’. Children’s Voices: Studies of interethnic conflict and violence in European schools is of international relevance both within Europe, and beyond, and will appeal to researchers, teachers and policy makers concerned with race equality in the classroom.

Edited and co-ordinated by Sarah Lowndes, Like The Sea I Think is an enthralling collection of new marine writing from East Anglia gathered from library workshops and open submissions held across the region. It is wonderfully designed, as always, by Emily Benton, and available as a memento and inspiration for all those living by, inspired by, or curious about, the sea. It is our provider, our enemy, our defender, our gateway to the world; it defines our borders, informs our imaginations, it inspires our artists. The anthology features an incredible range of writing styles, subject matter, and authors; the youngest featured is 11, the eldest 87. The perfect companion on a Norfolk coastal walk punctuated by warm coffee shops and local pubs.The volume includes 55 contributions from Viv Allen • Roy Ballard • Molly Bernardin • Neil Bousfield • Erin Bradshaw • Bev Broadhead • Tess Carruthers • David Cochrane • Louise Cole • Ruthie Collins • Mireia Molina Costa • Jade Cuttle • Janet Ellis • Cathy Erlam • Rose Evison • Jessica D’Alton Goode • Rachel Goodman • Mirabel Greaves • Chloe Hambly • Cate McKay Haynes • Sarah Hudis • Barrie de Lara • Jeni Lawes • Imogen Lea • Patricia Jane Lee • Stephanie Lillie • Angie Maddigan • George Mahood • Pip Mattich • Hillary Mellon • Jane Mills • Lloyd Mills • Jess Morgan • Lindsay Nash • Molly Naylor • Eoghan O’Maolain • Anna Opara • Sebastian Owen • Maria Pavledis • Clare Peed • Jon Platten • Simeon Ralph • Thogdin Ripley • Holly Sandiford • Gaia Shaw • Graham Sillett • James Smart • Robert F.W.
