Konfliktsimulator convinces Youth-Work Professionals in Heilbronn

On 25 and 26 July 2026, CRISP brought its Konfliktsimulator to the KI Festival in Heilbronn, one of Germany's largest and most established events on artificial intelligence. Despite the summer heat pushing even the laptops to their limits, the CRISP stand held its ground over both festival days.

The booth drew strong interest from professionals working with young people – teachers, sport trainers and other youth-work practitioners – who tested the simulator's fast rounds, direct feedback and gamified rewards. Many confirmed what CRISP hears again and again: conflicts among young people are getting harder to navigate, making structured, low-risk training formats more relevant than ever.

The two days produced many new contacts: school principals, teachers, and businessmen and businesswomen interested in using the Konfliktsimulator to prepare their teams for difficult situations. Being surrounded by other exhibitors and fresh AI applications also gave the CRISP team space to exchange ideas – particular thanks go to booth neighbors MI4People gGmbH and CorrelAid e.V. for the good company throughout the weekend.

CRISP is now inviting these new contacts to a test phase running from September to December, and is developing ideas for transferring the Konfliktsimulator to other themes and target groups. Organizations interested in exploring this transfer – or in preparing their own teams for difficult conversations – are welcome to get in touch with Andreas Muckenfüß at muckenfuss@crisp-berlin.org.
