Monique Chambers, Senior Training Specialist from the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism (EDIRO) and Stacey Jacobs, Education Coordinator, Sexual & Gender-based Violence Prevention from the Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office (SVPRO) are collaborating to bring Active Bystander Intervention Training to staff and faculty. Participants will be provided with the skills and resources to intervene when they see harmful, or potentially harmful, behaviour which includes racism, sexual violence, and other forms of harm. Join us in building a culture of consent, care, belonging and respect on our campus.
Everyone welcome.
Using an Equity focused lens, the objectives of this training are to:
- Understand and define microaggressions, harassment and harm.
- Recognize the complex roots of these normalized oppressions.
- Identify personal obstacles and barriers to intervening safely and effectively.
- Learn how to safely and effectively apply the 5D Active Bystander Model.
- Recognize that everyone has a role in creating a safe and anti-oppressive campus.
This training is being presented in person to increase connection, group learning and build community.
