PARIS GAMES WEEK 2025: 11th EDITION FOR RESPECT ZONE

Faithful commitment

For the 11th consecutive year, Respect Zone went to the largest European video game show, its place of origin, a faithful and committed presence that testifies to our desire to meet young people, families and all enthusiasts.

Why here?

Paris Games Week (PGW) is the perfect place for families, from the youngest to the oldest, to discover the latest innovations in the world of gaming. Year after year, video games improve, but they also develop new tools that were previously unavailable. This is particularly true of the increasingly common player interactions within this universe.

When the question of social networking arises, almost everyone forgets to mention video games.

It is for the questions never asked, the not-so-obvious answers, that Respect Zone is mobilizing with its awareness stand.

Stand designed for all audiences

This year again, we are offering an immersive space that is accessible to everyone.

Interaction with the public is created through our awareness-raising activities, which are always geared towards dialogue and mutual learning.

The scenarios are focused on video games, but also on all the practices and uses that each and every person can have on the Internet.

At the end of the activities, we distribute our various booklets, essential for supporting and equipping users of digital tools, as well as inspiring messages so that responsibility and online living continue well beyond the stand.

A diverse and curious audience

During the five days of Paris Games Week, we met a very diverse audience: children, teenagers, adults, gamers and non-gamers alike, parents, educators, and industry professionals. Several political representatives—Sarah El Haïry, Constance Le Grip, Céline Calvez, and Denis Masséglia—expressed their interest in our initiatives and in promoting responsible digital practices.

Among the 1,200 people welcomed, some were interested in the fight against cyberbullying and cyberviolence, while others shared their own experiences.

Our stand is also a space for information and listening for all those who wish to find support or share their experience after a situation of violence.

On stage

Our association had the honor of speaking on stage twice. During the PGW Family event, our speaker raised awareness among the audience about the various forms of violence that children, as well as public figures, can face due to their online presence. These discussions served as a reminder of best practices for protecting oneself and respecting others on different digital platforms.

Following this, a roundtable discussion entitled "Building Caring Digital Spaces: Creating Without Being Destroyed" was moderated by our president and coordinator. They were joined by content creator @ItsCyp and his agent @Sheutaaa to share their experiences and exchange best practices for online interaction.

Thanks to our partners and volunteers

This edition was made possible thanks to our partners at DILCRAH and our volunteers, some loyal and others discovering the adventure for the first time.

Our volunteers were the backbone of these busy days and evenings. They welcomed, guided, and facilitated discussions, listening to and supporting each visitor to the stand.

We would like to thank them warmly and look forward to continuing this wonderful adventure with them at future events.
