The Method: Education of Responsibility -Verantwortungspädagogik®
Voluntariness
Setting up a dialogue
Building a stable relationsship (the trainer personality is more
relevant than methodogical details)
Building personal independence (group approach)
Gaining insights rather than conditioning
Behaviour and patterns of justification are equally relevant
Setting up an emotional memory (no change of behaviour
without ability for empathy)
