ChangeTheGame is the first app designed to protect athletes from all forms of violence in sport. The app has a help button that connects users to a “circle of trust” chosen by the young people themselves. For under-14s, the emergency contacts are always their parents. In addition to the SOS button, young people can play games and learn to recognize violence through a series of steps consisting of quizzes and games presented by six characters who act as guides on a journey of understanding and awareness.
The app is continuously updated and enriched with new content. The three steps released so far concern the right of children to enjoy sport, the importance of athletes being listened to, and the third step addresses the concept of personal boundaries that must always be respected to prevent inappropriate behavior and avoid possible sexual abuse.
