This workshop took place on October 27, 2018.

asculinity: Under Construction's next workshop will focus on bystander intervention. In general, along with all the upcoming Halloween festivities we believe its more important than ever to utilize our privileges to support folks who may be getting unwanted attention.

In this workshop we'll discuss safe, informed, sensitive, creative and direct ways to create more options for those who appear to be experiencing gender based violence.

Key takeaways are for improving understanding and acting on it are to:

Discover- “Hey, is everything okay here?”

Direct-say it’s not okay

Distract- “Do you have the time?”

Delegate-ask for help

Delay-check in after

We would love to find a physically accessible venue because unfortunately this venue is up a flight of stairs. If its good weather, we could be outside in the park out front if folks want. Please advise if you know of a free/cheap venue with gender neutral bathrooms and physically accessible, and all around a friendly neighbourhood spot. So far this is a free event in a free venue run entirely by volunteers and our capacity is very limited. We welcome your suggestions and promise to work towards the ideal space where all male identifying folks feel open to a challenging/important conversations.
