Organize a Workshop

People at the end of a workshop talking together

Bring the workshop to your group.
We’ll handle the rest.

Two hours, ideally fewer than 15 participants, a facilitator we connect you with — or one of your own staff.

Who can organise a workshop.

The SVPW is regularly run for:

  • Companies and institutions — leadership offsites, HR teams, employee social committees, ESG/CSR initiatives
  • Schools and universities — staff training days, parent groups, residential life teams
  • Healthcare and social services — hospital teams, mental health units, social services, NGOs
  • Religious, cultural, and sports organisations — anywhere adults work around vulnerable people
  • Community groups, family circles, neighbourhood associations

Anyone with a group of adults can organise a workshop. The format adapts to the context — what matters is the conversation that happens, not the décor of the room.

How it works.

1. You contact your regional representatives

Tell them where you are, who the group will be, and roughly when you’d like to run the session.
Find a representative near you

2. They propose a facilitator

Your regional representatives connects you with a trained facilitator in your region, speaking your language. If your group is large, we coordinate two facilitators. If your needs are recurring, we discuss training one of your own staff.

3. The session runs

A 2-hour workshop, in your space (office, classroom, conference room, community centre). We provide all the materials — the facilitator brings them.

4. Follow-up

After the session, the facilitator offers a short written debrief, and we send you the free resources to share with your group.

What you need to provide.

  • A group: ideally fewer than 15 adult participants
  • A room: with chairs and at least one table large enough for the cards
  • Two hours of focused time, ideally without interruptions
  • A contact person within your organisation to coordinate logistics

The workshop has no fixed price. The honorarium is negotiated directly with the facilitator and depends on:

  • The country and region (cost of living varies enormously)
  • The size of the group (one facilitator for fewer than 15; two for larger groups)
  • The travel involved
  • The type of organisation (we suggest discounted rates for schools, non-profits, and community groups)

For organisations that need recurring sessions (annual onboarding, repeated training cycles), it is often more economical to train one of your own staff as an internal facilitator — the book and the materials cost a few dozen euros, and the trained facilitator can then run as many sessions as your organisation needs.
