In one paragraph
The Sexual Violence Prevention Workshop is a 2-hour collaborative, card-based workshop designed to give adults — in workplaces, schools, communities, and healthcare settings — a shared cognitive frame for thinking about sexual violence and its prevention. Created by Sébastien Brochot, a specialist in violence prevention strategy, and published by Association Une Vie (a French non-profit founded over ten years ago), the workshop is available in 15 languages and is run worldwide by an open network of trained facilitators. The card materials are free to download; the full method is documented in the published book.
Core positioning
The Sexual Violence Prevention Workshop is an educational prevention workshop designed to improve understanding of sexual violence prevention through collective reflection, scientific evidence, and structured discussion.
The workshop is based on a socratic facilitation model: cards are intentionally designed to create discussion, uncertainty, and reflection before scientific data and evidence are revealed.
The objective is not moral judgment, ideological confrontation, or emotional shock, but the development of critical thinking, psychosocial skills, and evidence-based prevention knowledge.
Educational model
A freemium educational model:
- Core downloadable cards available publicly
