Our friends at Meta Peace Team are holding this Bystander Intervention Training online. Read on for more details.

WORKSHOP INFORMATION

The recent presidential election and related concerns has made things very tense.  We will begin to explore the tools of nonviolence: What does it mean, how is it used, and how can good-hearted, well-intentioned individuals foster community and safety for one another? 

This workshop will cover what you can do in your communities to minimize the risk of violence  (What MPT refers to as offering a Peaceful Presence).  This training will help you learn an effective role to have as a loving community member.

Our emphasis will be on effective communication and Bystander Intervention:

• What to do when you see someone being harassed?  

• What do you do when the someone being harassed is YOU?

• How can the mere presence of a trained Meta Peace Team member at an event or activity help establish peace and nonviolence?
