SUMMARY:RA National Webinar: Men’s behaviour change programs across the nation: diverse programs\, common aims and how we create change | RAV & AIFS
DESCRIPTION:Men’s behaviour change programs (MBCPs) are a key component of Australia’s efforts to prevent male violence against women. Yet\, both nationally and internationally\, these programs have operated without a solid understanding of whether and when they are effective in changing behaviour\, and for which men. \nA stronger evidence base is key to delivering and refining MBCPs so that the public\, clients\, the sector and funders can have confidence in their meaningful contribution to the goal of eliminating family violence. The federation of Relationships Australia (RA) state and territory organisations deliver multiple MBCPs to thousands of men each year. \nThis webinar highlights the outcomes of the first stage of a multi-stage research project\, led by Relationships Australia Victoria (RAV) and Relationships Australia New South Wales (RA NSW) and conducted in partnership with the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS)\, to evaluate the efficacy of these MBCPs across the RA federation. \nThe objective of this stage was to co-design a generalisable Theory of Change that can be used to evaluate diverse MBCP offerings and to support organisations in delivering these complex interventions. Our presentation will begin with the challenges presented by variations in funding models\, legislative contexts\, group program configurations\, and individual perpetrator and partner support. Despite this diversity\, we will identify common aims\, activities and mechanisms for change. We will also present the visual Theory of Change that has been developed\, and discuss our next steps in building an evaluation framework aligned to this. \nOur speakers: Dr. Genevieve Heard\, Manager Research at Relationships Australia Victoria Dr. Glenn Althor\, Head of Research and Impact at Relationships Australia NSW Sharnee Moore\, Manager\, Evidence and Evaluation Support at the Australian Institute of Family Studies Stephanie Fisher\, Research Fellow at the Australian Institute of Family Studies \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Examining Whiteness - Exploring our Racialised Selves | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:Exposing\, challenging and resisting white supremacy is not a new experience for People of Colour and Aboriginal\, Indigenous and First Nations peoples – it is a daily reality in a world that is built and centred around whiteness. Without individual and collective activism there are limits to social justice practices and community building.\nWe invite you to join us\, to talk about race – your racialised selves\, practices and systemic racism. This workshop series will create a space to dialogue. To respectfully\, and rigourously explore and challenge racism in our every day.\nThis workshop will use caucusing\, as a dialogical process\, to facilitate honest\, robust\, respectful collective conversations about race\, whiteness\, power and privilege.\nCaucusing creates deliberate separate spaces for participants along racial identity lines to enable deeper reflection and dialogue. People of Colour will have space to speak openly about their experiences politically\, personally and freely\, without being under the gaze of white participants. White participants will work together to critically examine whiteness and its personal\, professional and political impacts in a white-centric racist world. ShantiWorks’ process moves from caucuses to collective spaces for learning.\nIn the words of Grace Lee Boggs:\n“Transform yourself to transform the world”\nWe hope you choose to join us in this anti-racist workshop series. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Examining Whiteness - Exploring our Racialised Selves | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:Exposing\, challenging and resisting white supremacy is not a new experience for People of Colour and Aboriginal\, Indigenous and First Nations peoples – it is a daily reality in a world that is built and centred around whiteness. Without individual and collective activism there are limits to social justice practices and community building.\nWe invite you to join us\, to talk about race – your racialised selves\, practices and systemic racism. This workshop series will create a space to dialogue. To respectfully\, and rigourously explore and challenge racism in our every day.\nThis workshop will use caucusing\, as a dialogical process\, to facilitate honest\, robust\, respectful collective conversations about race\, whiteness\, power and privilege.\nCaucusing creates deliberate separate spaces for participants along racial identity lines to enable deeper reflection and dialogue. People of Colour will have space to speak openly about their experiences politically\, personally and freely\, without being under the gaze of white participants. White participants will work together to critically examine whiteness and its personal\, professional and political impacts in a white-centric racist world. ShantiWorks’ process moves from caucuses to collective spaces for learning.\nIn the words of Grace Lee Boggs:\n“Transform yourself to transform the world”\nWe hope you choose to join us in this anti-racist workshop series. \nRegister here
