Limited to 24 participants
Active Bystander
Markus Klute (KIT)
Abstract
In challenging situations such as harassment, discrimination, or unethical behavior, bystanders often witness what happens but remain passive due to uncertainty, fear, or lack of tools. This training empowers participants to become active bystanders who recognize problematic behavior and respond effectively. Over three sessions, participants will (1) explore the psychological and social dynamics of bystander behavior and learn practical intervention strategies, (2) develop case studies reflecting on real-life challenges, and (3) present and critically discuss solutions with their peers. The course aims build confidence and equip participants with concrete skills to intervene safely, constructively, and appropriately.
