As part of the NePornu ministry, we often meet people who regularly consume pornography from the age of 11 to 12, which is confirmed by research which says that the average age of a child's first exposure to porn is 11. Nowadays, we also meet people who regularly consume pornographic content since the age of 6.

Children encounter porn without being informed about the risks associated with its consumption. And this is what we want to change through NePornu! And you can be part of this :) 

Here is a detailed desciption of what is ahead of us:

Already in 2019, we came up with the vision to create "open-source" prevention programs for school, so that other organizations might use them as well. We started working on a program for kids ages 14-15 together with Škola života (KAM) and Acetem. But then Covid hit and the work stopped for two years.

This spring, we finally got the chance to test this program at two schools! At one school, it was taught by our e-couch Kristýna, who works there as a school psychologist. And then Pete taught it together with Vítek, also our e-coach, at another school, whereas the responses were ovewhelmingly positive!

The program for kids ages 14-15 is basically ready, and it only requires a little bit of tuning. Furthermore, we would like to create a prevention program for kids ages 12-13. And if everything goes well, we should also create one for kids ages 10-11, which is the average age of first exposure. 

Our e-coach Matěj will be responsible for creating these prevention programs. He will also go through an extensive course on how to be a great lecturer and will build three teams to work on these programs. The team members will be experience lecturers from various organizations. The result will be a creation of three prevention programs with methodology. 

To create a program is one thing, but there is also the need to test it at schools, so that it would really connect with the students. So taking it to schools, testing it, getting feedback from students and teachers - all of this is also part of the process. It takes approximately 6 months to create a program, and another six months to test it and tune it before we get the final version. 

However, schools already contact us for help, because they are interested in these programs. When we teach seminars, people ask us whether we plan to take this to schools. So people realize it is a big issue.

For example, we got contacted by a school methodologist because there was a case at her school where one kid brought porn to school at the age of 9. And it was a big issue in the class. So althogh porn is a problem mostly for kids 11+, sometimes it starts to be a problem even sooner. And schools are looking for help. 

For everything to run smoothly, NePornu will be also responsible for traning new lecturers, so that they would be qualified to take this topic to schools. We also count on cooperation with other organizations and their lecturers in the Czech Republic to take this topic to schools. Our capacity is limited, and so together we will have even greater impact and reach even more kids. .

In any case, the result of our year-long endevor, besides creating and testing of the three prevention programs, will be a training of new lecturers who will then take these programs to schools where they already teach. We should also mention that several lecturers have already expressed their interest in this topic, and so we are reactiong to their needs.  

Maybe you've noticed that in June 2022 we published books for kids - Good Pictures, Bad Pictures in Czech. We have a version for kids ages 3-6 and 7-11 let. And the author of these books published Guidebook for Professionals as well. This book is a great tool for therapists and teachers working with kids. And that is why we want to translate it as part of this project as well.
