Learn to be a better MATE.
MATE – Australia’s leading Active Bystander Awareness and Intervention training program that aims to educate students and staff on how they can take active steps to prevent and respond to gender-based violence and all forms of discrimination including racism, is now on offer for all Flinders staff and students via Canvas. MATE – bystander awareness and intervention eLearning training is part of our Safety and Respect at Flinders programs and will help Flinders in our commitment to preventing, responding, and providing support to students and staff who experience sexual assault and sexual harassment at Flinders.
MATE aims to raise awareness around the ways in which abusive behaviour is embedded in our culture as well as the subtler issues that support a potentially harmful environment. The program challenges the root attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that normalise violence against women, inequality, racism, discrimination and bullying within society.
An initiative of Griffith University’s Violence Research and Prevention Program, MATE has been developed in response to the latest research into the causes and consequences of violence, discrimination and racism as well as the best practice approaches to understanding, controlling and preventing it.
Whilst the content is valuable in and of itself, students can also earn Horizon points for completion of the program.
