Awareness Raising Trainings

Awareness Raising Trainings are utilized to open dialogue regarding participant leadership around issues of battering and sexual assault. Working from a social justice foundation and with the premise that men and women often approach these issues differently, the trainings are single gender with male facilitators working with male student-leaders and female facilitators working with female student-leaders. Active learning strategies are utilized to help the participants personalize the issue of gender violence, highlight the power of bystanders, and reinforce the importance of their leadership intervening and confronting potentially dangerous situations where peers might need assistance. The specific topics can be tailored to the needs of individual organizations.
