Speaking Up is Hard to Do – Thrive Week

Thrive-website

Have you ever witnessed racist, sexist, homophobic, or similarly offensive behavior and not known what to say in response? Or have you ever been challenged at work for saying something inappropriate?

Join panelists as they discuss the concept of active witnessing (or bystander intervention) and the impacts this can have on you. Active Witnessing is one of the ways to intervene in striving to create more inclusive and respectful communities on campus.

Audience members will learn new skills to help you speak up and respond to discrimination.

This event is presented as part of Thrive Week at UBC. Learn more
