The MVP Institute is a three-day interactive training consisting of two phases: During the first phase individuals go through the training as participants. During the second phase participants practice facilitating the MVP curriculum and create MVP implementation plans. Utilizing a bystander approach to violence prevention, MVP provides the leadership necessary, within sport and beyond, to address the global issues of sexism – especially men’s violence against women. In our advocacy efforts and training programs, we educate, inspire and empower men & women to prevent, interrupt and respond to sexist abuse. MVP introduced bystander intervention to the gender violence prevention education field and has been on the cutting edge of its development since the early nineties. http://www.northeastern.edu/sportinsociety/.
