Cradle Community Active Bystander Workshop

Cradle Community is an abolitionist collective of facilitators, organisers and artists based in the UK, making space for curiosity, compassion and creativity. In their mission to build a world with transformative justice responses to violence, they are dedicated to developing the skills we need to support radical approaches to collective care and healing in our communities. In 2021, Cradle released their first book with Hajar Press, Brick by Brick: How We Build a World Without Prisons.

Together with Cradle Community, you will be exploring a key skill in building accountable communities, bystander intervention. In this workshop, we will explore what harassment and violence looks like in public space particularly as experienced by oppressed groups and provide space for participants to explore this issue and build their skills and confidence to intervene when they witness street harassment amongst members of the community, in ways that hope not to escalate the situation and centre the person experiencing harm
