Join the CBU community on Thursday, September 26, from 11:30am-1:00pm at Cineplex Cinemas Sydney (325 Prince St.) for the Waves of Change Bystander Intervention Training Program. This is a peer-facilitated, violence prevention program offered in partnership with universities and colleges across Nova Scotia.
The Waves of Change Bystander Intervention Training was designed by the Antigonish Women’s Resource Centre and Sexual Assault Services Association in partnership with various Nova Scotian post-secondary institutions, in order to address sexualized violence on campus. Participants will learn various techniques to intervene either as bystanders or as a community in order to interrupt or stop sexual violence, support survivors, hold those who cause harm accountable for their actions and transform the culture that allows violence to happen. This program draws on participants existing skills, knowledge and creativity in order to facilitate broader strategies for social change.
This training is free, open to all members of the CBU’s community and snacks will be provided! To register, email Augustina Emefeke-Efetobore at cbu22csnc@cbu.ca or Leena Mascarenhas at cbu22cmqg@cbu.ca.
Pizza will be provided. Participants will receive a certificate and there will be a draw for a $50 gift card at each session.
