Awareness

Boundary violations are common in the festival, club and bar scene.
For fear of this, many people avoid these places and withdraw. That must not happen. Teenagers and young adults should feel free and safe.
There must be no room for discrimination or violence in bars and clubs.

For this to succeed, awareness-raising and information sharing are necessary.
The aim of these activities is summed up by the term awareness.
It is about creating awareness and attention for situations where other people’s boundaries are crossed.
And to respect them.

And this is where the awareness-raising and prevention work of Opferhilfe beider Basel comes in.
The following texts and reports show what this can look like.

Are you planning a festival, do you want to train your company’s employees accordingly and make them fit, do you want to explore the topic in more depth in your club and address boundary violations, do you need tips on the topic of “awareness”?
