 thics Advisory\nRegistrations open on 09.03.21\n\nDescription: Has it eve
 r happened to you that you witnessed a situation where somebody got treate
 d unfairly and you felt bad because you did not know how to react? Or did 
 a female or minority colleague of yours complain about being discriminated
  and you did not know how to support them?\n\nIn this workshop participant
 s will explore how they can stop being passive bystanders and become activ
 e upstanders and allies in situations where others are confronted with dis
 crimination\, sexism and bias. In this workshop participants will learn th
 at they can have a positive impact in challenging situations and leave wit
 h a toolbox of smart intervention strategies. Knowing how to speak-up for 
 others will also help you to learn to speak up for yourself with courage a
 nd confidence.\n\nThe workshop will focus on three elements:\n• Awarenes
 s: How to recognize (subtle) discrimination and understand why it is harmf
 ul not just for the targets\, but the entire team or organization.\n• Ob

 and engage towards positive change of behavior without creating aggression
  and defensiveness. \n\n\nApproach\nThis workshop is highly interactive. 
 We will play a simulations game to kick off an open discussion on particip
 ants’ own experiences. They will learn from each other and get introduce
 d to various techniques like centering or active listening\, that will hel
 p them to become fearless and skillful allies for a more human workplace o
 f dignity\, equality and innovation.\n \nTarget audience \nMale Phd Stude
