"Severe Issue: Strategies for Preventing Sexual Misconduct and Aggression in Educational Institutions and Youth Programs"
In Solingen, Germany, an exhibition titled "Young people as victims and perpetrators of sexual offenses and violence" is set to open its doors from March 20 to April 10 at the Haus der Jugend Mitte. This informative event is organized by local and regional institutions dedicated to youth protection, social work, and crime prevention.
The exhibition aims to shed light on the complexities surrounding youth and sexual offenses, addressing both sides of the issue—young people who experience sexual violence as victims and those who commit such offenses. Its primary goal is to offer a nuanced understanding, break stigmas, and promote prevention and support strategies.
The target audience includes youth and young adults in the region, parents and caregivers, educators and school staff, social workers and counselors, and the general public interested in youth and social issues. Interested visitors are advised to register in advance, particularly for group visits or guided tours. Registration can be done through the official website of the organizing body or via contact details provided in the exhibition announcement.
The exhibition is presented by the Youth Promotion Solingen in cooperation with the Solingen Sports Association, the City Service School, and the Family Office (Solingen Networks Child Protection). It is a collaborative effort to address a crucial issue that affects the community's youth.
The exhibition offers five prevention stations for young people to engage with the topic. A mandatory accompanying training (two to three hours) must be attended by an accompanying person in advance. The visit for groups, such as from schools, clubs, carriers, organizations, is free of charge, but a booking is required for each group.
