Active Bystander Workshop (LMPHU & WHLM)

This workshop will introduce the Bystander effect; how social norms, exclusions and disadvantage is maintained through our collective silence. We will explore Bystander Actions; looking at current examples and why people often don’t intervene because we minimise, trivialise and individualise discrimination and exclusion.

This workshop shares everyday scenarios that are applied to ways to intervene safely in diverse contexts. Our workshop is designed to prepare you to be an active bystander, setting up effective and safe ways to intervene within the workplace and your community.
