An awareness-raising meeting to prevent violence against children in community organizations

This Monday at 6 p.m., Mireille Choisy Middle School is hosting an awareness-raising event aimed at preventing sexual violence, harassment, and hazing in sports and community organizations. This is a joint initiative of the Territorial Olympic and Sports Committee (CTOS), the prefecture, and the National Sports Agency. It is primarily aimed at educators, leaders, and volunteers from the island's sports associations and clubs, but also at parents. Everyone is invited to participate in the meeting.

The meeting is part of a campaign launched on Monday morning at the school by the CTOS and the local education authority, in partnership with an association called "Colosse aux pieds d'argile" (Colossus with feet of clay). It is one of the committee's social missions, which are to raise awareness and protect young people from all forms of violence. This information campaign is also aimed at adults, mainly sports coaches.

The meeting on Monday is scheduled for 6 p.m. in Room 5 of the Mireille Choisy middle school in Gustavia. Another meeting is scheduled for Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the middle school. In the form of a conference-debate, it will be open to all and will focus on the theme: "Sexual violence: what are we talking about?"
