We truly look forward immensely to the violence prevention project has "top secret hedgehog" since early 2009, two patrons: First, the well-known and popular actor WALDEMAR KOBUS that excites the audience not only in the theater, but also by his wonderful roles in national and international film - and for television, such as "The Captain" (ZDF, 2009), "Operation Valkyrie" (alongside Tom Cruise, who is running currently in theaters), "Miracle at St. Anna" (directed by Spike Lee) , "Black Book" (in this case led "Basic Instinct" director Paul Verhoeven director), "Speed Racer" (from the Wachowski brothers of "The Matrix" fame) were the TV series "Alles Atze" in which he as a policeman was known and many more Wolfgang Krebs In addition, the popular and famous comedian WOLFGANG KREBS, who brings his audience not only in his numerous live performances laugh and think, but also through his inimitable illustrations of the various Bavarian Prime Minister (Stoiber, Beckstein, Seehofer) in the weekly satirical magazine "cross" known in the Bavarian television and radio was. With these two dedicated and socially, educationally competent as patrons get our violence prevention project, a sustained and vigorous support! Welcome of our patron, Waldemar Kobus Top secret, the hedgehog encouraged children to say "no" when someone steps too close to them if they happen to violence. Top secret hedgehog land in the imagination of children and allows children who have already suffered violence to break their silence and speak about their experiences. Every child, which is then defend or can be protected against violent, represents a tremendous success dar. And from this success has already made some of the hedgehogs. However, the hedgehogs is not quite top secret side effects: In many cases, this means acting at crumbs, root, sunflower, hedgehog and the other for the spectators and participative children the first contact with the theater. Watch as these children, who often moved only images from television and cinema are probably used to start responding to hand and herzgemachte presentation of the hedgehog-music ensembles and is very exciting. That's why it is my heart not only personal but also very happy, full and stand completely behind this unusual "top secret". Waldemar Kobus Welcome of our patron Wolfgang Krebs Violence has many forms. Everyone is familiar with situations in which he does not feel well because he is oppressed. Violence we meet again, but violence can reply also. This project "top secret hedgehog shows" can be achieved. We learn: "NO!" to say. That's in early childhood is very important. But not only children can learn to be vigilant if they are force by the back door sneaking. Adults also look through the "Children's glasses", where found ways out for seemingly deadlocked situations. In so far this project can be a light at the end of the tunnel when one gets to it. For me it means very much for allowing me to participate in this violence prevention project of Olaf Krätke. I hope that "top secret Hedgehog" to help make our world more peaceful. Wolfgang Krebs
