How can respectful relationships be formed? Young people learn this in the prevention program Herzsprung - Freundschaft, Liebe und Sexualität ohne Gewalt. Therefore, stereotypes are questioned and there is a practice on how to communicate feelings, needs and boundaries and how to respect those of others.
