In the picture we can see some school children are standing on the path with school uniforms and they are holding some papers in their hands and one girl is talking something near the microphone which is to the stand and behind them we can see a fencing wall and to the top of it we can see a shed with some balloons top it.

NRW Schools Test Police Dialogues to Curb Violence and Build Trust

The initiative is being rolled out in ten police districts, including Mönchengladbach. Two schools in each district have been chosen for the pilot, though their names have not been made public. Officers will be present on school grounds twice a week during morning breaks.
