Chemnitz Crime Prevention Council: Working Groups
Prevention in a team
This platform brings together a wide range of prevention programmes offered by the city of Chemnitz in the fields of violence and addiction prevention, democracy education, new media and anti-racist education for teachers, independent providers and all interested parties. At the same time, it lists all associations/institutions/organisations that are active in the aforementioned fields of prevention. The aim is to make it easier to find suitable prevention programmes. To expand coordination and harmonisation between schools, independent organisations, the administration and the police and to create continuity in cooperation.
Work on the database is process-orientated. Specialist areas are added on an ongoing basis.
Since 1 March 2025, the database has been embedded in the website of the Free State of Saxony / State Prevention Council / PIT:
