Sponsor/Funds programme

Target
Young violent offenders; The participation takes place on a voluntary basis.
Objectives
Ideologized and radicalized feeling, thinking and acting have an important inner function and - supposedly - provide support, orientation and (self) security. This means that people who turn to ideologized images of the world are always doing something against their own insecurity, fearlessness and fear. Supporting the abandonment of such ways of thinking and trading must therefore be accompanied by the development of new and constructive patterns of thought and action. This is done in a process that strengthens one's own assumption of responsibility and develops and promotes constructive competences.
With the method of responsible pedagogy, there is a tried-and-tested and tried-and-tested method which has been adapted to the special needs of the participants in prisons and prosecution.
