WORKSHOPS

Developed through an intersectional lens, the Bystander to Upstander: Transforming Culture® (B2U®) program aims to provide a sustainable way (via a train-the-trainer component) for everyone to learn and apply trauma-informed upstander intervention techniques to prevent moments of injustice, such as sexual violence, racism, sexism, and heterosexism, as well as practice upstander intervention skills to take positive action when faced with injustice and intolerance.

The Bystander to Upstander: Transforming Culture® program includes two workshops:

·     Bystander to Upstander: Transforming Culture® workshop

·     Bystander to Upstander: Transforming Culture® Train-the-Trainer workshop

The first workshop, Bystander to Upstander: Transforming Culture®, teaches participants the knowledge and skills to transform from bystanders to upstanders to take positive action in the face of injustice or intolerance. The second workshop, Bystander to Upstander: Transforming Culture® Train-the-Trainer workshop, teaches individuals who have already attended the first workshop, Bystander to Upstander: Transforming Culture®, how to facilitate the Bystander to Upstander: Transforming Culture® workshop with other colleagues. Participants who attend the Train-the-Trainer workshop will join a collaborative team of trainers who work together to build communities that support difference and unify against intolerance.
