Although the #MeToo movement has begun to free up people to speak out about sexual and gender-based violence, dealing with it is complex and the people involved often feel powerless.
The board game Care to Tell? © enables these situations to be tackled in an accessible, collective and reassuring way.
The objective of the game is to break the silence to handle these situations in a constructive, empathetic manner while using existing resources.
Care to Tell? © is the first game on sexual and gender-based violence or any other form of violence to be published under Creative Commons Licence, meaning the game can be re-used as many times as needed for noncommercial purposes.
The game was created as part of the GiveLab project, funded by Erasmus+. GiveLab aimed to provide youth professionals, learners and young people with tools on the theme of sexual and gender-based violence.
Care to Tell? © is the result of two years’ work with a consortium of ten partner associations from France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Austria and Latvia.
Visit https://www.solidaritesjeunesses.org/projetstransversaux/givelab for information on the project and to upload the game together with instructions.
This training course teaches how to deal with situations of sexual and gender-based violence together, using a cross-disciplinary approach combining elements of psychology, sociology, law, public policy, communication and conflict management tools.
Our suggestion: You may want to attend our training Care to Tell?© Become a facilitator to facilitate the game independently with your target audience.

Day 1 : How it works
• FRAMING THE SUBJECT
Historical, cultural and societal mechanisms
Case studies: Hunters not gatherers, Pamela Geller (archaeologist) History of women’s rights from the 20th to the 21st century. Examples from popular culture (series, films, cartoons, etc.)
• SYSTEMIC ASPECT
Prejudice, stereotypes and representations
Cognitive biases (confirmation, availability, representation…)
Sexual and gender-based violence in the continuum
Group exercises to raise awareness and identify biases (puzzle games, etc.)
• SOCIALIZATION : LEARNING & SOCIAL CONTROL
Spheres of socialization (family, school, peers, media and culture) – sociological concepts
Cultural diversity
The common notion of rape culture
Individual and group work on argumentative skills: videos and illustrative aids, moving debate…
Day 2 : Identifying and categorizing SGBV through the prism of current events
• LEGAL DEFINITION – INTERNATIONAL, EUROPEAN, NATIONAL
The hierarchy of Laws, the European and international legislative system (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Istanbul Convention, Directive (EU) 2024/1385 of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 14, 2024 on combating violence against women and domestic violence)
Legal definitions and penalties in France (penal code, from gender-based outrage to rape, murder)
Situation identification exercise
• CONTEXTUALIZATION USING DATA
Different types of data: crime data, sentiment surveys, qualitative research based on interviews, testing, gaps in existing data, etc.
Synthesis of the most recent and comprehensive European study on the subject: FRA, EIGE, Eurostat (2024), EU gender-based violence survey – Key results. Experiences of women in the EU-27, Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg.
Intersectionality in data (disability, origin, sexual orientation, gender…)
• DECODING THE NEWS Identifying situations and mechanisms in the news
Reading current events and legal decisions
Impact on victims and society
Putting into practice what you’ve learned during the day through practical case studies (depending on the period and the group).
Day 3 : Prevention and practical actions
• CARE TO TELL?©
Practical game testing to break the silence on SGBV and learn to handle it collectively
• BUILDING A PREVENTION POLICY AND ACTION AGAINST SGBV
Use the results of the game to develop and build the policies, programs and concrete actions that the group wishes to implement within its organization. Application of a methodology for building a policy to prevent and combat SGBV:
1. Identification of the problem and the need(s) of the victim(s).
2. Identification of the tools/systems available within or outside the organization to meet these needs.
3. Identification of gaps
4. Co-construction of systems and tools to address specific issues and find sustainable solutions (with prioritization).
5. Assessment of the added value of the systems/tools created
