“One example from North America, where the Virtues Project originated, is taken from the Calgary School District website which shows an increase of schools using VP to nearly a quarter of schools in the district, or approximately 52 schools with 18,400 students involved (Calgary Board of Education, 5 June 2007), and also shows a drop in antisocial behaviour and an increase in student reported perceptions of safety in those schools.”
