How: Register your training spot in the Learning Portal before 13th October

Learn how to:

• Recognise gender-based discrimination in interpersonal workplace relationships
• Understand how you can personally intervene to diffuse a situation of discrimination at work
• Analyse the systemic challenges of certain workplace dynamics

An original learning approach performed as a short theatre piece, in which you will:

• Closely observe the behaviour of local actors playing out a hypothetical scene in a science research laboratory
• Challenge your bias and/or assumptions about how gender, seniority, and team dynamics can impact productivity and well-being at work
• Deepen your understanding of how to recognise and intervene in the face of overt and subtle forms of gender-based bias and discrimination
• Experience the challenges and the benefits of being an Active Bystander

NOTE: This theatre pieces contains a voluntary improvisation component. Time permitting, participants may choose to intervene on stage to act out an alternative approach to the behaviour observed.

A French version will be held in early 2024.
