Congress 2022 / 15th Annual International Forum
New Congress Format
A special new congress format has been developed for this year's 27th German Prevention Congress (DPT) with its 15th Annual International Forum (AIF). Taking pandemic and climate change into account, we want to optimise the information sharing and personal encounters in the broad field of prevention.
Under the main theme “Children at the heart of prevention” (see below), this year's hybrid congress will run throughout nearly the whole year (March to November). The congress comprises two components:
1) DPT-TV: weekly online broadcast – every Wednesday!
From 2 March, DPT-TV will go on air every week on Wednesday from 11 am to 12 noon (CET). Each broadcast starts with 10 minutes of “DPT-News”, in which current prevention topics are discussed (publicly accessible). Afterwards three parallel lecture sessions on different topics will be presented. At the end there will be an opportunity for an open exchange and discussion in online format.

The main topic of the 27th German Prevention Congress is: Children at the heart of prevention
The 27th German Prevention Congress wants to examine what and how more can be done for children in the field of prevention. The Corona pandemic highlights current challenges especially in the field of education and digitalisation, which particularly affect the young generation. Moreover, it is already evident that children are suffering severely from the crisis. But even before, the needs of children were not given enough attention by society. The main topic of the 27th German Prevention Congress therefore takes children into the spotlight of prevention, dealing with the aspects of support, rights and protection for this age group. The focus is on Germany, but the topics are also considered in a European and global context.
In addition to the main topic “Children at the heart of Prevention”, all other current topics of violence prevention and crime prevention up to the extended spectrum of addiction prevention, public health and traffic safety will also be discussed at the congress.
