“What hurts the victim the most is not the cruelty of the oppressor but the silence of the bystander”
Elie Wiesel, Holocaust Survivor 

Racism, bullying, sexual harassment and other inappropriate behaviours contribute to a toxic culture. The impact they have on people can be hugely detrimental – leading to stress, anxiety and mental health problems. As we are seeing in the news, it can be deeply corrosive and damaging if these behaviours and attitudes are normalised over time. That’s why it’s essential for everyone to know how to speak up when problems arise. By registering for this workshop you contribute to social safety in the working place.

This training includes subjects like:

• Overcoming fear and paralysis in challenging situations
• Using the right words and expressions when challenging behaviours.
• How to tackle ‘micro-inequities’, including eye-rolling, sighing, constant interruptions and unconscious bias.

Depending on the location the working language is either Dutch or English. Please pay special attention when registering.
