Join us for “Active Bystander Training” at the 2020 Canadian School of Peacebuilding with instructor Joy Meeker. Courses are available for professional development, personal inspiration or academic credit. This course will support participants to intervene effectively when they witness violence or harm. Informed by nonviolence, conflict transformation, and anti-oppression work, participants will consider a range of practices to disrupt harmful behavior. This course will be highly participatory, including exercises and role-plays in order to practice bystander intervention skills that participants can apply to school, work, and public spaces. Participants will learn how to respond to incidents ranging from hostile confrontations to everyday remarks in hopes of affirming the value of diversity and respect. This course is offered in partnership with Resolution Skills Centre (RSC) and Mediation Services and counts as 3 days of elective credit towards an RSC certificate. Find out more at csop.cmu.ca and apply before April 1, 2020.
