The coaching programme offers tailored support for challenges in the Intervention Programm in a radicalisation process. It helps to develop or improve strategies and practical skills for dealing with widespread patterns of devaluation within an organisation. The aim is to strengthen the confidence and capacity to act of individual professionals and to further develop the organisation as a whole in its prevention and intervention work against far-right phenomena.
Formats and Process
The focus of the coaching determines the format.
Short Coaching
In short coaching, the organisation receives an overview of the challenges and needs the team faces when dealing with devaluation, discrimination and far-right attitudes. This is achieved through a needs assessment survey within the team, which is designed by Distanz e.V. Based on the results, Distanz e.V. provides recommendations on how the identified needs could be addressed. Follow-up measures, such as training courses, are jointly decided upon with a focus on available resources.
Intensive Coaching
In intensive coaching, Distanz e.V. supports a small group of professionals over several sessions on specific issues. Based on an analysis of needs and initial conditions, the group develops goals for the team and the organisation. Distanz e.V. accompanies, advises and supports this change process. The entire team of the organisation is regularly involved and informed about the content.
Case Coaching
In case coaching, the focus is on one or more concrete cases involving young people who are at risk of entering far-right extremism and who pose challenges for the organisation. Over several sessions, the professionals involved are supported and advised by Distanz e.V. through joint case analysis and practical recommendations for their educational work with the young person.
Methodology
The coaching is needs-based and solution-oriented. The analysis of the initial situation determines the next steps. The process is participation-oriented and strengthens professionals in their personal responsibility. With a resource-oriented approach, the coaching builds on existing strengths and expands them with the expertise of Distanz e.V.
