Abstract	Violent and aggressive behaviors are social and health problems that have grown exponentially in Latin American countries. During the last two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the situation. In response to these problems, the Association for the Development of Comprehensive Education and Communities (Aseinc) has provided education and training programs for teachers and K-6 students in Venezuela since 2009. Through the years, Aseinc identified the urgent need to support their beneficiaries with tools to "fight" violence. Their response was to create and implement a structured program to reduce violence in schools, promoting a culture of peace and non-violence for children and adolescents that would be transferable to their families and communities. As part of this mission, a multidisciplinary team of professionals from Aseinc created Aulas de Paz in 2019. Initially, all concepts were gathered in an activity booklet that provided socio-emotional skills to teachers and students from vulnerable and rural areas. Aulas de Paz evolved into an intersectoral program and, today, its strategies are included in all educational programs carried out by the organization. The goal is to increase the number of teachers, parents, caregivers, and community leaders who are trained with strategies, dynamics, and activities linked to positive personal and social core values.
