How do you combat undesirable behaviour? How do you become an active bystander who contributes to a culture of respect, equality and tolerance? This training will give you concrete tools to address behaviour that makes you uncomfortable in a respectful and open manner.
Suppose you witness unwanted behaviour. Think of bullying, (sexual) harassment, insulting, belittling or discrimination, for example. It can then be quite difficult to say something about it. You may not dare, or you do not want to be the first to say something, or you are afraid that others will think you overreact. Dependency relationships can also make it quite difficult to speak out.
VU Amsterdam is working towards a culture in which staff and students trust that conversations about manners will lead to greater mutual understanding and contribute to a harmonious working or study environment. We encourage each other to discuss incidents with each other at an early stage. This requires not only respect for different views on manners, but also the willingness and skill to engage in uncomfortable or difficult conversations.
