In this course, you will learn how to deal with personal risks and dangers.

You know how to assess dangers and threats in your partner country realistically and how to behave adequately in risky situations.

You will learn:

• Analysis of dangers and risks
• Dealing with threatening situations in a proactive way
• Scope of action in violent situations (personal attack, burglary, kidnapping etc.)
• Strategies for dealing with danger
• Preventive measures and dealing with situations in the aftermath

In role plays we simulate various scenarios. During these simulations participants take on the role of endangered people and criminals.

Our interdisciplinary trainer pool consists of security experts, psychologists, mediators, coaches, and trainers from the field of civil conflict management.

This offer is part of the Skills4Abroad programme. The content is not specific to GIZ.​

For this course, you will need clothing appropriate for the time of year.

In the “Blackbox Security”, an interactive learning station at Campus Kottenforst, you can further look into the topic of ‘personal safety, stress, and trauma’ on your own.

We recommend combining this training with the course "Dealing with stress and trauma". For a deeper understanding of the topic of sexualised violence we recommend the course "Unmasking power: understanding and acting against sexual harassment and sexism".
