GANG want to implement various training elements to
• to sensitise people to violent forms of communication in their present environment,
• to help identify violent forces in the men’s own life histories,
• to define violence from the viewpoint of the offender or the victim,
• to get people to accept responsibility fortheir own actions.
What is the aim of GANG?
• To encourage the ability to perceiveoneself and others,
• to develop alternative ways of behaving jointly with other participants,
• to try out and reflect on new ways of behaving so as to solve conflicts,
• to motivate and enable the participantsto transfer what they have tried and testedinto everyday life.
Further Aims of GANG
The GANG Methodology• The GANG method is based on social teamwork orientated to own
experience; it functions in a process- and topic-oriented way.
• In small groups, the men consider their violent actionsagainst the background of their biographic offender andvictim experiences (biographic work)
• In role play, the participants try out non-violent alternativebehaviour based on specific case sequences.Role playing is a core element of the seminar.
• The preparation for this mode of working includes, for instance, body-orientated exercises in plenum, aimed at promoting respectful and trusting relations within the group.
• The main focus is always on identifying and accepting their own limits as well as those of others.
