Creating awareness about power dynamics and sexual harassment at the University
This workshop is dedicated to increasing awareness about what constitutes as sexual harassment at the University. It addresses the foundations of healthy interpersonal relations and challenges misperceptions of gender norms. Through an intersectional approach, participants will be encouraged to reflect on personal gender related views, behaviors, norms and values. This workshop is perfect for university members who want to get a better understanding of the basic concepts and power dynamics related to sexual harassment and how it can be prevented.
Currently no new workshops planned.
Preventing sexual harassment at the University
Sexual harassment can have severe negative consequences for one’s physical and mental health, not only due to the harassing behavior itself but also due to the (lack of) reactions of others to such behavior. Acting as an active bystander when witnessing sexual harassment at the workplace (and elsewhere) shows that you do not accept such behavior, both to the person being harassed and the person harassing. The Sexual Harassment Bystander Training will provide you with the necessary tools to respond to and report sexually transgressive behavior in our university context.
The Sexual Harassment Bystander Training for PhD students will take place in person on December 10th, 2024 from 13h until 16h in room S.R.006.You can register via https://forms.gle/MrgbsvVQdu9gJSzz9 . Please register before December 3 2024.
How to recognize and respond to sexual harassment at the University
This workshop series focuses on strengthening the skills we need when sexually transgressive behavior occurs in a university context. The training takes as a premise that anyone can engage in transgressive behavior, experience it or receive a report of it, and therefore focuses on the skills that help us deal with these situations:
- Assessing the behavior
- Supporting the person who was affected by the behavior
- Addressing the person who engaged in the behavior
- Recognizing your own boundaries
This training is not a bystander training and therefore does not focus on intervening in situations of transgressive behavior, but rather on the response afterwards.
Currently no new workshops planned.
