How do you combat undes irable behaviour? How do you become an active bystander who contribut es to a culture of respect, equality and tolerance? This training wil l give you concrete tools to address behaviour that makes you uncomfo rtable in a respectful and open manner.

Suppose you witness un wanted behaviour. Think of bullying, (sexual) harassment, insulting, belittling or discrimination, for example. It can then be quite diffi cult 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 cultu re in which staff and students trust that conversations about manners will lead to greater mutual understanding and contribute to a harmon ious 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.
