description: 

We all come across discrimination. Whether it's directed at us or anyone else, unfortunately it's almost everywhere. Fortunately, you can do something about it yourself! Speaking-up is about sexism, homophobia and racism. The starting point of the training is that it is unfair that victims of discrimination and harassment have to be the ones to stand up for themselves. During the Speaking-Up training, you will learn how to stand up for others in a positive and valuable way, and what you can achieve by doing so. We go into what sexist, racist and homophobic remarks are and what it does to you when these (sometimes seemingly innocent/small) remarks are directed at you. Participants learn to recognise situations and how to respond effectively. Victims of discrimination feel seen and supported, so harassment and discrimination can be addressed.
