Bystander intervention training
March 14 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm EDT
On Saturday, March 14, Mobile Peace Team (MPT, formerly Meta Peace Team) and Pax Christi USA are teaming up to offer a hands-on skills workshop on Zoom for bystander intervention skills.
Our emphasis will be on BYSTANDER INTERVENTION: This workshop offers skill-building on how to do effective bystander intervention when someone is being harassed or threatened with violence.
• What can you do when you’re alone and you see this happening to someone?
• What do you do when the someone being harassed is YOU?
Participants will learn and gain practice in specific skills, techniques, and tools that are useful both in conflict intervention situations and in daily life, including:
• Active listening
• The importance of body language
• The CLARA technique
• Why “trying” matters
