TV news: "5 Minutes in my shoes" at the Brussels Stock Exchange in partnership with the Eva Section of the Brussels Capital Ixelles police to train police officers to combat sexual and sexist violence
100% of women
have been harassed
at least once
Harassment concerns us all because it involves our wives, our sisters, our mothers, our girlfriends, our friends, our cousins, our aunts...
The aim of ‘5 minutes in my shoes’ is to change behaviour, educate men, decondition women and help witnesses, and involve parents in gender-neutral education.
our solution :
an interactive, immersive, artistic, sensory and educational experience
The harassment simulator: To create total immersion, we chose to build a black monolith in the shape of a tunnel 8.5 m long, 4 m high and 4 m wide. The public is invited to wander through this interactive installation, a universe where three-dimensional images and sound follow you.
The support system. A place where people can be welcomed, emotions can be gathered, exchanges can take place, discussions can take place, solutions can be proposed, information can be provided, training can be offered, and tools and media for communication, help and exhibitions can be found.
“5 minutes in my shoes”, the immersive experience that triggers and frees speech in 5 minutes.
7694 people have tried it
The testimonials are unanimous: the experience is very powerful and leads to debate. It raises men's awareness. It helps decondition women and frees them to speak out. We noted that around 45% of the participants were men and 55% were women!

The creative team
Nathalie Erin, Frédéric Durieu and Gilles de Boncourt created ‘5 minutes in my shoes’ during the covid 19 crisis, which lasted 18 months. They were lucky enough to be able to take advantage of festival halls in various communes in the Cévennes.
