Civil courage is the behavior where people actively intervene to protect a victim in a concrete situation of injustice, however, at the risk of becoming a victim themselves too. In order to act with civil courage, it requires thus competencies that relate to pro-social values, as well as the physical and social ability to act. This page groups a set of related survey studies (representative for Germany and Austria with respect to age, gender, and region) that report on the perceived level of civil courage in Austria and Germany and what – according to the respondents – the best contexts are to learn civil courage. In both countries, respondents agree with the statements that (1) there is not enough civil courage, (2) civil courage has decreased in the last five years, and (3) young people no longer show as much civil courage as the older generation. “At home and/or from family” as well as “through volunteering” are considered the most suitable contexts to learn civil courage. In contrast, television, social media, and the internet are considered the least supportive contexts. However, opinions on this significantly differ among different age groups. **Download data and research protocol here (OSF):** https://osf.io/3fu4p/ **Download figures here (figshare):** https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.15141231 **Open Access article:** Willems, J.
