Speakers:

Sharon Lyons – Cricket Victoria - Cricket Manager Inner East Metro

Nadia Bevan - Monash University 

Nadia is passionate about creating inclusive sporting environments for all, in particular girls and women. Nadia has worked on several projects that strive towards reducing barriers for sport and physical activity participation for girls and women, youth and the LGBTQ+ community. Originally from Adelaide, Nadia moved to Melbourne to undertake her PhD at Monash University after working on a gender equality in sport and recreation project in regional Victoria.

Sporting clubs play in important role in our community. They can be important places of social connections and support, as well as influential structures where attitudes and behaviours, including those towards women and girls, are formed and upheld.

Sporting clubs also have an important responsibility to ensure all members are safe and free from discrimination and harassment. This can be achieved by creating and supporting fair, inclusive and respectful sporting environments on and off the playing field.  

Active Bystander training seeks to support fair, inclusive and respectful sporting environments through skilling participants to not only identify and challenge sexism, but other forms of discrimination such as racism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia. Active Bystander training equips participants to step in when they see or hear sexist or discriminatory language, jokes, behaviours or practices across a range of sports settings and scenarios.  

Research shows that promoting bystander action across your sporting club can support a range of benefits. Some examples of this include:  

• Improved club culture and relationships for all members  
• Attract and retain talent and increase performance and morale 
• Save money and increase profits 
• Support positive change and enhance your reputation 
• Contribute to the prevention of violence against women  

Spots in this workshop are limited so book your spot as soon as you can. 

Registrations are essential. Refreshments provided. 

This workshop is being delivered in partnership with Women's Health East and made possible thanks to Change Our Game - Community Activation Grants program.
