While there are reporting and complaint mechanisms for responding to vilificatio n and abuse based on a person’s religion\, communities experience barriers in responding.\nThis indicates that the majority of us\, if witness to an antisemitic or Islamophobic incident\, wouldn’t know what to do\, and may even feel too scared to intervene and help those in need. Yet\, past rese arch indicates that bystander approaches were identified as holding promis e in the primary prevention of race-based discrimination (2009\, VicHealth &\; University of Melbourne).\nAs part of the Anti-Racism and Anti-Dis crimination Action Plan\, the Victorian Government is supporting key organ isations to deliver community-led responses to Islamophobia and Antisemiti sm. This project is a collaborative initiative by the Jewish Community Cou ncil of Victoria (JCCV) &\; the Australian Intercultural Society (AIS) who have formed a united body aimed at addressing these issues. The projec t aims at empowering people to be active bystanders when confronted with I slamophobia or Antisemitism\; trained to be confident and tooled-up to tak e a safe active stance when observing Antisemitism and Islamophobia.\nThe program will be delivered by ‘Courage to Care’.\nDelivered across metropol itan Melbourne and regional Victoria\, the half day programs will:\n\nProv ide community-led responses to Islamophobia and Antisemitism\nSupport peop le who have been subjected to Islamophobia and Antisemitism\nSupport bysta nders to respond to situations\nRaise awareness of issues and promote resp ectful behaviour and interfaith understanding\n\nTo register\, click here.  \;\nFor more information please contact: AIS: Ahmet Keskin 9867 2248 | \;akeskin@intercultural.org.auJCCV : Joshua Goodman 0422 566 663 |&n bsp\;joshua.goodman@jccv.org.au https://faithvictoria.org.au/upcoming-even ts/event/1883-bystander-intervention-program DTSTART:20220628T093000Z DTEND:20220628T123000Z LOCATION:Immigration Museum\, 400 Flinders Street\, Melbourne (400 Flinders St\, Melbourne VIC 3000\, Australia) SUMMARY:Bystander Intervention Program URL:https://faithvictoria.org.au/upcoming-events/event/1883-bystander-inter vention-program END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
