This is a bespoke Tackling Sexual Violence Workshop for committee members in Team UCL! Your community is changed by your intervention, not by your silence. Together, we will change the culture
Our trauma-informed workshop will equip you to understand consent beyond the law as a lived practice and a core part of creating sexual experiences which are focused on care, communication and pleasure.
Beyond your own experiences, you will also engage critically in understanding sexual violence and rape culture as systemic, deeply rooted cultural issues rather than isolated acts. As a committee member, these workshops will support you to recognise your own role in challenging behaviours and attitudes that perpetuate harm, and to work collectively towards cultural change within and beyond your team.
This workshop has been made specifically for Team UCL and has practical exercises, activities and tools to equip you with the confidence to be a part of changing the culture. By taking part, you will gain:
- Confidence in recognising and responding to harmful behaviours.
- A deeper understanding of consent as a practice, boundaries and sexual autonomy.
- Tools to challenge attitudes that enable sexual violence.
- Skills to contribute to safer, more accountable team cultures.
- Understanding of specific support services.
- A certificate upon completion.
The workshop will in person, and will be 2 hours long, and will be facilitated by our Prevention and Intervention Coordinators from the Advice Team at the Students’ Union.
This workshop builds on the skills you have learned from the Active Bystander Programme and club completion can count towards award nominations. Please ensure you have completed your Active Bystander Training before attending this workshop.
