Some of our employees are former top athletes or trainers themselves and know from their own experience the conditions that can promote abuse in sports. In addition to making the topic taboo, this also includes power relations and struggles in the organizations, the dependency and pressure for athletes to perform, as well as situations which make abuse easier, e.g. in the locker room.

Hello, my name is Tanja. At the moment I´m studying psychology in Salzburg. When the time came to choose a place to do my internship I gravitated towards this organization, because I’m very passionate about youth sport, having been part of sports clubs für as long as I can remember. As of now I primarily dance, do archery and in summer you almost always find me on a boat.
I am Liv and studying psychology at the university of Basel. My wish is to raise awareness, support people and actively campaign for a safe interaction with children. With my openness, my commitment and my personal competence I am completing our team and feel motivated to elaborate our aims together.
