This Respect Month, take a moment to reflect on what respect means to you at uni, and how we can all help create a safe and inclusive environment. We’ve teamed up with UniSA students to create a series of active bystander videos, showing how we can step up and speak out in everyday life. Whether you watch a video, complete UniSA’s training module,
or join a Respect Month event, there are plenty of ways to get involved and learn. Remember that support is always available, and to reach out if you need a helping hand. |

Help us create a safer and more respectful community for all students by joining UniSA's free Respect Month activities.
Grab a free Respect@UniSA phone grip or hacky sack at Brekky Bar and make your own badge to showcase what respect means to you. You’ll also get the chance to win a $100 gift card by sharing how you’d respond to a situation of everyday sexism. Plus, join us at the City East Plaza for a foam pottery session with Calamity Tash, or attend our online workshop to learn how you can contribute to a culture of respect, inclusion and equity.

What would you do if you witnessed everyday sexism?
|
|
Being an active bystander means stepping up and speaking out when it matters. UniSA’s training module gives you the tools and confidence to safely support others and challenge sexism in everyday situations.
You’ll learn how to identify everyday sexism and its impacts, along with strategies to intervene, enact change and make a difference. With the mid-semester break in full swing, it’s a great time to work through the 30-minute training module and educate yourself. |

Tell your story with UniSA+ self-development workshops

If someone asked you, ‘Tell me about yourself,’ what would you say? It’s often the first question employers ask during interviews, and if you find it difficult to answer, you’re not alone!
In this two-part workshop, we’ll explore effective storytelling and how it can be used to connect with others, enabling you to strengthen your communication skills and build confidence in sharing your ideas. You’ll get the opportunity to practise answering this question in various contexts such as job interviews, meeting someone for the first time, or networking events.
Your story matters. Register now and learn how to tell it well!
The story of me: Friday 2 May, 12:00pm – 1:30pm, Online
Learning circle:
Thursday 22 May, 3:00pm – 4:30pm, Online |
