Abstract
The project “Coloring for action” was designed and implemented in order to develop to draw attention to the growing problem of school violence and contribute to the prevention and reduction of aggressive practices of school children, looking to value the harmonious coexistence among peers. Combining non-formal education with the arts, this intervention developed a set of activities in the context of plastic arts, covering 21 children aged 6 to 13 years from Valongo of Vouga School Grouping in the municipality of Águeda (Portugal). These culminated with the creation of a giant mural painted on the outside wall of the institution, as a symbol of non-violence in schools and education for peace.
