What OPEN Asso | Observatoire de la Parentalité et de l'Éducation Numérique does

OPEN Asso (Observatoire de la Parentalité et de l'Éducation Numérique) is a French nonprofit association (loi 1901) founded in 2017 by Thomas Rohmer and headquartered at 31 avenue de Ségur, Paris (7th arrondissement). It is the first French association 100% dedicated to digital parenting, serving two primary beneficiary groups: parents of children and adolescents, and professionals (educators, social workers, psychologists, youth workers) who support families. The organization operates as an information, research, training, and advocacy hub rather than a technology vendor.

Its core offerings are organized around five product/service lines: (1) Espace parents and Dossiers thématiques — free content resources including articles, podcasts, videos, and downloadable guides on screen time, social media, online pornography, cyberbullying, video game addiction, and sharenting; (2) Nos études — original research studies, including landmark IFOP/Open surveys on adolescent pornography exposure and Médiamétrie/Open-UNAF studies on family digital habits; (3) Interventions & Formations — fee or subsidized training sessions delivered in-person and virtually to parents and professionals; (4) themed campaigns — SNAP (adolescent sexuality and digital prevention, conducted with CRÉDATS and PCPP Université Paris Cité), NUAJE (longitudinal youth digital practices study), Parents Sentinelles des écrans (territorial field deployment), and Pari Risqué (online gambling prevention); and (5) public-affairs and media engagement — direct advocacy with French ministries, ARCOM, and legislators on youth online protection. The underlying technology stack is minimal: a WordPress website (open-asso.org) built by eko & co and hosted on OVH SAS, with no proprietary software, API, mobile app, or AI/ML components.

Its business model is nonprofit in structure. OPEN generates no commercial product revenue; it is funded via membership contributions, donations, and institutional grants from public and private partners supporting child protection and parental education initiatives. Distribution is digital-direct (website, six social platforms, newsletter) complemented by field-based professional training and public-awareness events. The organization is led by President Marion Haza-Pery (clinical psychologist) and Director/ founder Thomas Rohmer, and is affiliated with the La Voix de l'Enfant federation of ~80 child-protection associations.
