Program: Love Limits
What?
- Love limits is the defensibility training that Scharlaken Koord has developed at the request of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (Directorate Emancipation).
- The training consists of six meetings that all have their own theme, like posture, use of voice, boundaries, relationships and your own strengths.
- The training is psycho-physical and uses different methods like role-plays, self-defense techniques and assignments.
- The training is given by a certified female defensibility teacher and expert on the issue of loverboys.
- Scharlaken Koord has developed a website: www.lovelimits.nl.
Why?
- Love is not without limits! Hence the name: ‘Love Limits’. It explains that especially when love is at stake limits should be set and respected.
- The training wants to make girls aware of the fact of their own defensibility concerning relationships and sexuality.
- It wants to offer a grip on realistic situations when limits are crossed.
Who for?
- Girls in the age of 13 to 18 years.
- Girls who are at risk of having their limits violated.
- Girls who have already been confronted with people that have violated their limits.
Where?
At different locations: schools, community centers, institutions, boarding schools and independent living training centers throughout The Netherlands.
When?
- We give Love Limits during school hours or sometimes at other times at location.
- Love Limits is planned in consultation with the person applying for it.
