Active Bystander Training:

Anti Racism and Religious Bigotry

The Active Bystander Training is particularly relevant in the context of rising Islamophobia, as it equips participants with skills and knowledge to effectively intervene in such incidents. By understanding the historical and social contexts of racism and hate, including Islamophobia, participants learn how to recognize and safely address attacks. Integrating a session on the History of Racism at the start of the training event would lay a critical foundation for understanding the roots and pervasiveness of racism, including Islamophobia
