Please note: This is a 3-part series. Facilitators should register for all three sessions. General attendees need to register for sessions 2 and 3
Upstander training is built upon the framework of IQEE (Interrupt. Question. Educate. Echo), adopted with permission from the Learning for Justice project by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The skills acquired may be used from the witness or victim perspective; however, the main focus is on building strength for others to Speak Up so that the responsibility is no longer left to the person who has been victimized but shared by those who witnessed or listened. The program also addresses how to be the best ally and overcome the pitfalls of allyship. The goal is to have everyone become UPSTANDERS, actively changing culture and policy to build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for ALL.
We are seeking volunteers to help facilitate the case scenarios small group session on October 30. Please register for the facilitator training – September 25, 9-11 am ET
- During this 2-hour experience, we will review case scenarios for relevance and how to apply UPSTANDER skills to address. This is very important to attend to help build facilitation skills for the case scenario practicum via small groups on Oct 30. We go over the Do’s and Don’ts of being a facilitator and answer questions to make sure each person is comfortable with being a facilitator. They must attend all 3 sessions. A facilitator guide will be provided to all those interested. This can be recorded for people to watch later if unable to attend in-person.
- Facilitators are any active PES member who are open to learning about practicing unbiased skills and intervening in an effective way.
