Professionals, teams, and managers who want to build confidence in intervening against harassment and inappropriate behaviors, and foster a proactive, respectful workplace culture.

By the end of this training, participants will:

• Recognize different forms of harassment and inappropriate behaviors.
• Understand the role and responsibility of bystanders in preventing harassment.
• Build confidence to act when witnessing problematic behaviors.
• De-escalation techniques to assist with incidents that may occur at work.
• Promote a workplace culture where respect and accountability are shared values.

The training prioritizes experiential and behavioral learning through:

• Role-playing real-life harassment scenarios.
• Perspective-taking and empathy-building exercises.
• Interactive activities using Forum Theatre techniques.

Forum Theatre is a participatory method where participants engage with staged scenarios and are invited to intervene, proposing alternative actions or dialogue to address the issues presented. This approach allows participants to explore multiple perspectives, rehearse effective responses, and co-create solutions in a safe, collaborative environment.

• Available both online (half-day format) and face-to-face (half-day or full-day format).
• Pre-training survey to assess baseline knowledge.
• Post-training knowledge assessment and feedback.
• Highly participatory learning, including role plays and Forum Theatre.
