How do you combat un desirable behaviour? How do you become an active bystander who contri butes to a culture of respect, equality and tolerance? This training will give you concrete tools to address behaviour that makes you unco mfortable in a respectful and open manner.

Suppose you wit ness unwanted behaviour. Think of bullying, (sexual) harassment, insu lting, belittling or discrimination, for example. It can then be quit e difficult to say something about it. You may not dare, or you do no t want to be the first to say something, or you are afraid that other s 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 no t only respect for different views on manners, but also the willingne ss and skill to engage in uncomfortable or difficult conversations.
