When you speak, your community listens. Stop harm before it starts.
Join us for “LISTEN”, a 4-hour, hands-on workshop where community leaders and organisations design culturally grounded tools to support the prevention of violence and harm. Learn how to spot small issues early, speak about them safely, and leave with practical strategies you can engage straight away in your community
When harm is brushed off as “just part of life,” it keeps happening.
You know the quiet lines “that’s how families are,” or “we don’t talk about this in my culture.” That silence makes people feel invisible and unsafe. It stops people from speaking up and it leaves your community without tools to prevent harm.
What to Expect in a LISTEN Workshop
The LISTEN workshops are delivered by experienced facilitators from the Ethnic Rainbow Alliance who bring lived experience, cultural insight, and deep community connections. Each 4-hour session includes interactive group activities, storytelling prompts, and co-design exercises that create a safe and engaging space for all participants.
What you will gain
Confidence to name harm
You’ll use easy prompts and storytelling tools that help you say what’s happening without blame.
Tools that fit your culture
You’ll build prevention actions rooted in your community’s values, not a one-size-fits-all script.
Connections that protect people
Meet others who want the same thing: to feel heard safely and to protect each other before harm happens.
Trusted by community partners
“Made me feel in control of the work, not just another workshop.”
Who's it for?
We encourage participation from everyone within community organisations, including frontline staff, leaders, and support workers. Taking a ‘whole community’ approach ensures everyone shares a common understanding and plays a vital role in creating culturally safe, inclusive environments that protect and empower ethnic rainbow people.
