1. We Decode the Concept of "Othering""Our workshops unpack the concept of "Othering" as an entrypoint for discussing racism, prejudice, and hate. By illustrating how Othering works, we empower students to recognize common patterns that exist across many different forms of racism.

2. We Teach Bystander Intervention Against Racism and HateWe teach the principles of bystander intervention for responding to racist incidents. We share a youth-focused approach to bystander intervention, emphasizing the importance of personal safety, de-escalation, and engaging with caring adults.

3. We Host Engaging and Fun Theatre ActivitiesWe use theatre-based activities so youth can practice applying the principles of bystander intervention. And yes, these activities work well in online workshops! The theatre activities are often cited by participants as a favourite part of our workshop.
