Courses and workshops for girls*, women*, inter*people and trans*people
In my courses we will learn:
♥ about our personal limitations
♥ to feel more confident and stronger
♥ how we can best say “No!” and “Stop!” if we don’t want something
→ For example sexist or racist slogans, insults and bullying
♥ to defend ourselves against physical, psychological and sexual violence
♥ self-defence techniques for dangerous situations and how we can use our bodies to defend ourselves
We will do:
⇒ situational games, exercises and situational training
⇒ physical techniques involving strikes, kicks and releases
⇒ discussions and exchange experiences, for example of everyday sexism and other abusive situations
⇒ breathing and relaxation exercises
My courses are for:
- girls* from age 6 and up
- Teenage / adolescent girls*
- non-binary and trans* Teenagers
- women*
- Intersexed*people
- Transgendered*people
⇒ Of all ages
⇒ Of all abilities (including physical, mental or psychological handicaps or even none at all)
⇒ Refugees and non refugees
It doesn´t matter if you feel sporty! ☺
My courses should be a safe space for everyone.
*Explanation – why I put an *asterisk after the words “women” and “girls”:
The *asterisk is to show that the words “women” and “girls” were constructed by society, so they are made up.
There are many genders, not only “women” and “men”. People are very different and diverse. Therefore I think that all people are allowed to decide for themselves what they call themselves, what clothes they wear and what things they want to do.

I mainly give courses in the regions of Göttingen, Harz, Goslar and Wernigerode.
But you can also invite me to other cities.
Languages:
In my Wendo courses, I am speaking German, either in simple language or in difficult language. On request, a course is also available in English or French in simple language.
If you would like a translation into another language, please let me know in advance. Then we will surely find a possibility together, for example someone to translate!
