Who we serve
Values and Principles
The International Observatory for School Climate and Violence Prevention (IOSCVP) is guided by core values that reflect its commitment to inclusive, equitable, and evidence-based education. These values shape its research agenda, partnerships, and support for schools and communities:
Accountability: A commitment to transparency, ethical standards, and responsibility in all institutional and collaborative actions.
Respect for diversity: Recognition and appreciation of cultural, social, and individual differences across global contexts.
Equity and inclusion: Promotion of fair access to quality education, with a focus on eliminating barriers to participation and learning.
Collaboration: Encouragement of intersectoral and interdisciplinary partnerships among researchers, educators, policymakers, and communities.
Scientific rigor and impact: Prioritization of high-quality research that informs public policy, school improvement, and student wellbeing.
Child-centered approach: Emphasis on children’s rights, voices, and holistic development as central to all initiatives.
These principles underpin the Observatory’s work and are reflected in its publications, projects, and global network of collaborators.
