This three-hour workshop will introduce attendees to the concepts of active versus passive witnessing, and help to instill a better understanding of the impacts of racist encounters on both victims and bystanders. The workshop is premised on the active-witnessing model, in which participants will learn enhanced techniques for intervening and disrupting racism in their institutions and in their daily lives. Participants will have the opportunity to learn and practice a wide range of anti-racism responses, and to share their own experiences. The workshop will be held over Zoom for a three-hour period in the afternoon on Tuesday, 28 February. The facilitators will conduct the session in English.
