Onder mijn ogen
Do you see what’s happening right before your eyes?
Young people can become trapped in criminal exploitation without anyone noticing. Onder Mijn Ogen is an interactive serious game that helps education professionals recognise and connect warning signs and start conversations about criminal influence within their organisation.
The benefits of this serious game:
Awareness through experience
For education professionals
From recognising signs to discussion and practical action.
Encourages colleagues to share observations and concerns.
Can be combined with training, advice and lasting implementation within the organisation.
The training’s effects have been studied by Avans University of Applied Sciences.
Why Onder Mijn Ogen?
No presentation.
Get people talking.
Participants actively engage with relatable situations involving young people and criminal exploitation. Playing together, making choices and discussing situations brings a sometimes difficult subject to life.
Recognise the signs.
Offers practical ways to act.
A change in behaviour, sudden wealth or new contacts: on their own, signs can seem harmless. Onder Mijn Ogen helps professionals observe more closely, recognise signs and discuss concerns with colleagues.
Immediately applicable.
Spotting signs as a team.
Awareness is the beginning. Onder Mijn Ogen can be part of a broader approach involving an internal reporting procedure, cooperation with safety partners and a designated safeguarding contact.
Who is Onder Mijn Ogen for?
For professionals working with young people

What does Onder Mijn Ogen achieve?
The approach was studied by the Centre of Expertise Safety & Resilience at Avans University of Applied Sciences. 95.5% of respondents said the training would help them recognise signs of criminal influence among students in the future, and 98.6% would recommend it to colleagues or other schools. Participants also discussed concerns about young people with colleagues more often in the weeks after the training.
