A book travels.
A movement needs people who carry it.
Become the project’s voice and steward in your country or region.
What a regional representative does.
A regional representative is the local face of the SVPW project in a country or region. The role is part ambassador, part coordinator, part guardian of quality.
Concretely, regional representatives:
- Welcome new facilitators in their region, answer their questions, help them prepare their first sessions
- Maintain the local-language version of the website and materials, signal translation issues, propose cultural adaptations
- Organise local events: occasional gatherings of facilitators, public sessions, presentations to institutions
- Represent the project with local partners — NGOs, public institutions, media, conferences
- Identify and signal local risks: misuse of the materials, unauthorised commercial reproductions, conflicts with our values
- Run at least 2 workshops per year themselves, to stay close to the practice
It is not a paid role. It is a chosen responsibility, taken on by people who believe in the project and want it to thrive in their context.
Who we’re looking for.
We don’t have a fixed profile. Past regional representatives have been teachers, social workers, NGO directors, retired professionals, students, healthcare workers, and people who simply care deeply about the topic.
What matters most:
Cultural fluency in your region
Language, customs, sensitivities
A network you can mobilise
Even a small one
At least one workshop already facilitated
As a host (we want you to know the method from inside)
Time
Typically 4 to 8 hours per month, more in launch phases
Alignment with the project’s values
Rigour, non-militancy, evidence-based reflection, respect for all participants
What we provide.
In exchange for your commitment, we offer:
- Direct contact with the founder and the central team, including a regular video call
- A short presentation on our website on our website, with your contact information (or anonymised, if you prefer)
- All materials in your language, with priority access to new releases
- Guidance on event organisation, partnerships, communications, and crisis situations
- A network of peers — the other regional representatives across the world
Application process.
- You facilitate or attend at least one workshop if you haven’t already
- Send us a message (form below) telling us who you are, where you are, and why this role interests you
- We schedule a video call (for English or French speakers) — usually within two weeks
- Formal designation as regional representative, with a public announcement
The whole process typically takes one to three weeks.
