As long as violence passes for a news item, nothing moves. The documentary and the campaigns put it in front of everyone.
Raise awarenessThree levers, one pitch
Contrepied acts where the game is passed on: clubs, football schools, the touchline. Where one word from a parent, a coach or a captain weighs more than any sanction.
Three reasons to support us
One coach against twenty parents does not weigh much. The kit and the club visits give them words and backing.
PreventNobody yet knows what really calms a match down. The lab tests, measures and publishes, season after season.
The Ideas LabRaise awareness
Make football's violence impossible to ignore, and show that a different football is possible. Contrepied changes the way people see the game and the way they behave, and makes the solutions that exist known, season after season.

a documentary produced by Canal+ and fronted by Laure Boulleau, filmed in France and abroad. - Media campaigns
so the subject never fades away, amplified by our partners and ambassadors. - A tour of clubs across the country, with Crédit Agricole
screenings, discussions, and pilot actions such as a silent stand or a professional player taking on refereeing, to change perspectives from the inside.
Prevent
Building tools and educational programmes for young players, coaches and parents, to encourage more respectful behaviour on and around the pitch.
- A teaching kit with Orange
on verbal abuse, respect for referees, frustration, social media and cyberbullying, with content designed specifically for parents on their behaviour on the touchline. - Visits alongside clubs
and football schools, with former professional players.
The Ideas Lab
Identifying, adapting and growing new solutions: a laboratory gathering the most inspiring initiatives, in France and abroad, and helping them spread.
- A panorama of solutions, with the Fondation Canal+
published regularly, highlighting what works, in France and abroad. - Full-scale experiments
run with volunteer districts, after bringing together experts and people on the ground to identify the most promising leads.

What's next
A place people want to come back to
Football gives us too much to let it fall apart. Protecting what is best in it starts with one club, one coach, one parent, and with each of us.
