Play "My body belongs to me"
Building on the play "Nein-Tonne", the theater pedagogical workshop came back to our class. Small scenes were used to express feelings of yes and no. "What can I do as a child if someone crosses my physical boundaries?" and "How do I defend myself against sexual violence?" were two important questions that were answered. It became clear that in cases of sexual violence, the perpetrator is always to blame.
The children should be empowered to prevent dangerous situations and learn to get help when they need it. The children were given three questions to answer:
- Do I have a yes or a no feeling?
- Does anyone know where I am?
- Can I get help if I need it?
Despite the difficult topic, the children were eager to participate thanks to the great actors, the catchy song "My body..." and the age-appropriate play scenes.
