Active Bystander Training

This free interactive course is led by identity-based violence prevention charity, Protection Approaches.

The expert-led sessions guide participants through a series of discussions to explore how they can play a role in safely addressing identity-based harms in their community, school, or workplace.

You will learn:

• What it means to be an active bystander: Through group discussion, participants explore what being an active bystander means to them.
• Standing up for those being targeted safely: Working through a series of scenarios, participants consider and learn what they can do when they encounter identity-based harms such as harassment on public transport, a racist attack in a supermarket, or a prejudiced comment from a colleague.
• Proactive prevention: Returning to the scenarios, participants reflect on the root causes of prejudice and discrimination before discussing ways they could contribute to dismantling those root causes and to building safer, more inclusive, and just communities.

This session is funded by MOPAC's Shared Endeavour Fund.
