How to Motivate Students to Act to End Sexual Violence and Create a Cool, Engaging and Inclusive Prevention Program

How can you creatively connect students to the issue of sexual violence and motivate them to take action? How can you influence their behaviors? By exploring cutting-edge behavioral science frameworks, we'll provide tools for effective communication, skill-building, and positively shifting students' everyday actions. In addition, we'll share innovative and inclusive materials, from tabling toolkits to fun workshop games, that you can implement in your diverse campus communities. If you are struggling with student engagement around sexual violence, this workshop is for you!

Learning Outcomes: 

  • Name three key, evidence-based strategies to drive behavior change in their communities.
  • Identify how they can use the E.A.S.T model of behavioral science to enhance the effectiveness of their prevention programming.
  • Acquire five strategic communication techniques that they can implement in their prevention work.
