Bystander Training

Exe-change the Norm is a bystander intervention programme written by an Exeter academic, Dr Rachel Fenton, and is delivered by two specialist facilitators from within the EDI team. We are offering an exciting new training this year on the Penryn Campus where you can learn to become and active bystander and skilfully intervene in any potentially harmful situations that you witness on or off campus. The ‘Exe-change the Norm’ programme increases awareness of gender-based violence, misogyny and racism in all its forms. The training then provides further sessions that equip you with different strategies to intervene.

All it takes is you to make a positive difference and to prevent harmful situations occurring in our community. Sign up now through Handshake and search Bystander to begin this sector leading programme.

Bystander intervention programme is now being run every Thursday on Penryn Campus, with 2 sessions a day currently in place.

The training aims to encompass:

How to be an active bystander
Racial microaggressions and racist behaviours
Sexual assault, sexual violence and gender-based harm
Learning and perfecting skills in order to intervene in harmful situations

Students can sign up for the training programme through Handshake and type in ‘Bystander’ to find a session to sign up for.
