Bystander Intervention Tools and Techniques

Time: 4-6PM
Location: APUS Boardroom (563 Spadina Crescent, Room 236)
This is an interactive and tool based workshop that will help participants develop their skills in intervening and de-escalating potential harmful situations. We will help you evaluate risks and make safer and more accessible choices while helping you get from a bystander to an empowered bystander. We use a variety of techniques to ensure equity and dignity when approaching diverse groups and needs. This workshop comes with a workbook
Consent: What We Were Never Taught
Date: December 6th
Time: 2-4PM
Location: APUS Boardroom (563 Spadina Crescent, Room 236)
96% of Canadians think that sexual activity should be consensual, however only 28% of Canadians know what consent looks like. Consent education has been overlooked as a crucial component to ending gender based/sexual violence. When we understand how to set boundaries, respect and actively listen to one another and practice enthusiastic consent, we are creating cultures of consent that offer safer opportunities and experiences for all people. Handouts are provided with this workshop.
