• Hate crime laws
• The impact of hate crime on victims, witnesses, and communities
• How and where people can report
• Why it is important to report

We deliver bespoke training on the prediction and prevention of identity-based violence and mass atrocities.

This training can include anything from urgent briefings on situations of  impending or ongoing mass atrocities, to structural training on how organisations or governments can implement prevention strategies of monitoring, analysis, communication, and response. We debunk myths around what atrocity prevention is and deliver tailored programmes that are designed according to the needs of our partners. 

Around the world we have delivered workshops and trainings for governments, national mechanisms, political parties, parliamentary committees, government departments, civil servants, civil society organisations, and journalists.

 In partnership with the British East and South East Asian Network (besea.n) we have created an active bystander training. These expert-led sessions see participants guided through a series of discussions to explore how they can play a role in tackling identity-based prejudice and violence in their community, school, or place of work.
Content is tailored to the needs of each group. The training has a minimum time of 2 hours but can also be delivered over a half or full day. Content includes:

• What it means to be an active bystander or ally: through group discussion the participants explore what being an active bystander means to them
• Standing up for victims: working through a series of scenarios, participants consider and learn what they can do when they encounter prejudice, harassment or violence such as a racist attack in a supermarket or an inappropriate comment from a colleague
• What you can do if you are the victim: participants consider some options they may have if they are the victim of prejudice or violence, and find out where there are support services and resources

An online training course facilitated by leading experts in building kinder, safer more inclusive communities. During interactive sessions taking place over either two days or four evenings, participants discuss and learn about: 

• The processes that create divides, prejudice, and identity-based violence
• What really works to build kinder, safer, more inclusive communities
• How to design impactful projects for positive change
• The principles guiding how to work in and with communities in meaningful, participatory ways

Following the training, participants will be tasked with putting their training into action through small initiatives in their own communities, workplaces, clubs or groups.
