Get started with self-confidence: girls' trainers in Porz empower young women!

A remarkable training course is currently underway at the Kopernikus Hauptschule in Porz, which is specifically designed to help girls appear more self-confident. Doreen, Isabella, Ornella and Angelina are among the students who take part in the self-confidence training with great commitment. Anja Derksen leads the course and considers it important that boys could also benefit from such training in order to promote respectful interaction. The headmaster Michael Neuser emphasizes the importance of social skills and the need to encourage students to assert themselves, especially at a time when ideals of beauty and bullying are major issues. Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger reports that media literacy is also an important part of the school's educational concept.

But what exactly do the girls learn in training? Self-confidence is not just a buzzword, but also includes skills such as self-confidence, social skills and assertiveness. This training is particularly important for young people who have difficulty dealing with others or feel unsafe in social situations. According to the clinical psychologist, it helps to make contacts and maintain them as well as learn to assert your own needs.

Support for training

The self-safety training incurs costs, which are, however, supported by a generous donation from the Porz-Mitte Citizens' Association. The roofing company Ragas, represented by employee Nikolai Schieren, provided the proud sum of 3,000 euros. The citizens' association not only supports the school, but is also actively involved in the beautification of Porz. The Porzer SPD has also announced that it will donate flowers for buckets on Friedrich-Ebert-Ufer.

In addition, on June 11th there will be a regular meeting of the citizens' association in Haus Knott, where the head of the Porz citizens' office, Guido Motter, is expected as a guest. Such events show the strong cooperation between institutions and citizens in Porz, which contributes to the community and the positive atmosphere in which the social skills of young people are also promoted.

The basis for better coexistence

Self-confidence training can not only promote the personal growth of participants, but is also an important component in behavioral therapy. Studies show that improving social skills has positive effects on mental health in the long term. Participants practice mastering fearful situations step by step, which represents valuable progress for many clients. Klett-Cotta emphasizes that such training can also be used by therapists in group or individual therapy to strengthen social interaction.

Overall, the self-confidence training at the Kopernikushauptschule in Porz shows how important it is to accompany young people on their path to self-confidence. The support of local initiatives and the school's commitment create a pleasant learning environment that benefits young people.
