About our Bystander & Activism Courses
An active bystander witnesses a potentially harmful situation and takes action to intervene, prevent, or de-escalate it. They might speak up against discrimination, harassment, or violence, support victims or seek help from authorities. Active bystanders are crucial in promoting safety and preventing harm in their communities.
Our courses empower participants to become active bystanders. The course covers defining sexual violence, understanding its societal impacts and recognising incidents. Participants will build confidence in safe intervention techniques and learn practical tools to challenge and stand up to sexual violence. Training can be delivered in various formats: face-to-face, online, or self-guided e-learning.
