Civic courage

Civic courage – take notice and do the right thing

What should you do if others are being threatened, harassed or attacked?

Pay attention rather than looking away, but without putting yourself in unnecessary danger.

In our training programme, participants learn to recognise critical situations at an early stage, assess them correctly and respond appropriately.

Helping, but doing it properly

Civil courage does not mean playing the hero.

It is about taking responsibility and acting thoughtfully: organising support, involving other people in a targeted way, setting boundaries or alerting the police.

When should we offer support, and when should we keep our distance?

Not every situation allows for direct intervention.

Participants learn to assess risks realistically, to prioritise their own safety and yet still remain capable of taking action.

From spectator to participant

Why do people sometimes look away even though it’s obvious that someone needs help?

We highlight typical reactions and barriers to action, and provide simple strategies to turn uncertainty into concrete and confident action.

Practical training

Civil courage cannot be taught purely in theory.

Using realistic scenarios, participants practise how to react, communicate, organise support and, where possible, prevent dangerous situations from escalating further.

The aim

Participants gain confidence and know what to do when other people need support.

Look. Assess. Act.
