Leader of the intervention centre for men HIM, for the City of Heidelberg 
Anti-violence instructor
Hypnotic therapist, health practitioner (psychotherapist)
Qualification in Focusing and HAKOMI®, body-oriented psychotherapy
More than 25 years of experience in the field of violence and social skills in Heidelberg for men and boys. 
(Managing director, fairmann® non-profit organisation)

Why I do what I do:

Being fair and “learning to live without violence” is the goal of what we offer here for men and boys.  
This applies to how we treat others and also how we see ourselves.
Our goal is to work out what we actually need without stepping on others’ boundaries.
We try to convey that fairness needs personal strength and that violence is just a sign of weakness. 
When people take responsibility, weaknesses turn into strengths and a crisis becomes an opportunity. 
Change is possible at any time if you really want it.

Christoph Kaiser
Theatre teacher (BuT)
Actor and director (qualified for the stage)
Has worked in the field of theatre pedagogy for the prevention of violence in a wide variety of disciplines in schools in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate as well as in schools in Heidelberg for fairmann® for 15 years.

Why I do what I do:

For me, my work at fairmann® involves communicating with boys and male youngsters to not only be fair to other people but also to stand up for their right to be treated fairly themselves. 
The workshops are there to approach the concept of equal respect through discussion rounds, exercises and team games.

Sebastian Schwarz
Actor (qualified for the stage) and theatre teacher (BuT)
Works for fairmann® in the field of violence prevention in schools.

Why I do what I do: 

It is my desire to treat young people as equal and to embrace them with fun, games and enthusiasm. I want them to know they are fine just the way they are.  I also want to be there for them and support and help them with things that worry them.  I use theatrical methods to do this because the way I see it, experience can open boys’ eyes and encourage them towards change.

Why I do what I do:

It is my mission to provide children and youngsters with a kind of training room where they can use play to confront situations they know from their lives, enabling them to reflect upon them with our help. They can then use what they learn from this to act with confidence on life’s stage.
