Empowerment Workshops for Athletes (Ages 12–17)

Interpersonal violence, respect, and personal boundaries, these are topics that especially affect young athletes. With our Empowerment Workshops, we aim to encourage athletes to recognize and communicate their own boundaries and to respect those of others. The focus lies on strengthening both the individual and team cohesion.

Workshop 1: “My Boundaries = My Strengths”

In this workshop, participants learn:

What interpersonal violence means in sports
Why personal boundaries are a sign of strength
How to act confidently in conflict situations

Through practical exercises and role plays, athletes learn to better identify their individual boundaries and to assert them actively in their sporting and social environments.
