Workshop 'Active Bystander'

When you witness inappropriate behaviour, you can take action yourself. But how? In the ‘Active Bystander’ workshop, you learn about signs of inappropriate behaviour and you receive tools to make inappropriate behaviour discussable.

Bullying, gossip, exclusion, or jokes at someone else’s expense are next to (sexual) harassment, discrimination, and violence, examples of inappropriate behaviour. Do you sometimes witness inappropriate behaviour? As a bystander, you can choose to ignore this behaviour (passive bystander) or take action (active bystander). As an active bystander, you make a difference and contribute to the identification and discussion of inappropriate behaviour. By defining the boundaries of inappropriate behaviour, a culture change occurs, and the continuation and normalization of inappropriate behaviour are prevented as much as possible.
