​
Dr JR Curtin and Dr Paul Quantock of The 4Civility Institute wrote Chapter 3 of the book - entitled ‘...JUST THREE OF THE MYRIAD REASONS FOR DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL...'
​
School dropout is a serious and challenging problem. We are aware of this challenge. This awareness motivated us to do many studies on early school leaving. As a collection of chapters by various authors, this book is just one of those efforts. We do really hope that the book will raise awareness about school dropout and help those working on this issue all around the world.

This project aims to provide teachers and educational staff with competencies and tools to address the challenges that arise from digital transformation, focusing on Gaming Disorders. It aims to educate youngsters on how to build their digital/virtual identity and distinguish it from their real identity, whilst also educating them on how to build a healthy relationship with online gaming and the use of the internet.
The 4Civiility Institute is delighted to be part of the EU funded GAMING DISORDERS project

The major objective of the project is to develop support programmes for staff working from home and their Managers and will concentrate on the issues of (i) technology (ii) staff welfare and (iii) how to manage staff working from home e.g., to keep those staff working from home as healthy and productive as possible. The technology issues make it vital that both staff and Managers have appropriate training and support to make working from home technologically effective and efficient.
