Active Bystander Training

This session is a specialised music industry training workshop presented monthly by CrewCare and Support Act.

The workshop is designed to educate members of the music crewing workforce how to actively intervene when witnessing sexual harassment, assault, discrimination and bullying.

These issues are big, complicated and take time to change, but every action, direct or indirect, all add up to collectively create cultural change. This training will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to identify when there is an opportunity for action and the many ways to take action.

Through reflection, group discussion and case studies you’ll:

• Define the behaviours, where change is needed and why there is no easy and quick fix, but many actions that add up to make a big difference.
• Explore what your individual responsibility is when witness to sexual harassment, sexual assault and bullying.
• Understand why there is no easy and quick fix, but many actions that add up to make a big difference.
• Leave with the confidence and practical understanding of what you can do when witness to sexual misconduct, bullying and discrimination.

Every individual has a role to play in ending sexual violence and harassment.
