#ConsentCulture Workshop

#ConsentCulture stands as a foundational workshop for preventing Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), designed for UK students. The workshop's primary focus is to impart an understanding of the concept of consent, distinguishing what it entails and what it does not. Additionally, participants will familiarize themselves with the university's specific definition of consent. The workshop aims to equip attendees with the knowledge to collectively and individually extend the boundaries and comprehension of consent. Ultimately, the goal is to foster a culture deeply rooted in consent within the UK student community.

"How to Help a Friend"

"How to Help a Friend" is designed to empower individuals with effective ways to respond when someone they care about is either currently facing or has previously experienced Interpersonal Violence. By lending actionable advice and fostering empathy, the workshop offers participants guidance in creating a safer environment for those around them.

Find your Green Dot

What is a Green Dot? Green Dot is a bystander intervention program designed to reduce instances of power-based personal violence through proactive and reactive strategies. The program empowers members of the UK community to intervene safely and effectively in potentially harmful situations, fostering a culture where violence is not tolerated.

A core part of Green Dot’s approach is the "Three D's" intervention framework, which offers flexible, practical strategies for taking action:

Direct: Step in and address the situation directly.
Delegate: Get help from others, such as friends, staff, or authorities.
Distract: Create a diversion to diffuse the situation

By attending a Green Dot workshop, you’ll learn how to identify concerning behaviors, overcome barriers to intervention, and take action to support a safer campus.
