Addressing the issue of hate crimes on campus requires participation of all members of the campus community. The Stop The Hate Program allows top administrators, student affairs professionals, faculty and students to learn new innovative tools to take action on hate crimes and bias-motivated violence issues on his/her campus and region.
Over a period of three days and approximately 18-20 hours of training time, each participant becomes skilled on 12 different training modules to implement in combination or as separate workshops/seminars, as follows:
Module 1: Framework for Learning
Module 2: Introducing Bias & Hate Crime Issues
Module 3: Understanding Hate Crime Law
Module 4: Reporting and Documenting Hate Incidents & Hate Crimes
Module 5: The Impact of Hate Crime & Victim Support
Module 6: The Attraction of Hate
Module 7: Young Hate Crime Offenders and Offender Motivations
Module 8: Preventing Hate Incidents and Hate Crimes
Module 9: Trainer Workshop Basics
Module 10: Evaluation of Workshop
Module 11: Change-Breakers
Module 12: Action Plan to Combat Hate
Key expert leaders from the partnering human rights and hate crime agencies conduct the training in small groups. These experts are selected to maximize the participants’ ability to impact his/her college campus as an educator on hate crime prevention. Throughout the next year, we participants can commit to be a part of the Stop The Hate consortium of educators to combat hate on campus and implement an action plan consisting of a minimum of six hate crime prevention efforts that might include workshops, seminars, rallies, writing articles, developing campus response teams, etc.
