About the programme
The goal of this programme is to increase awareness of the culture challenges in the profession, and incidences of unacceptable behaviour; educate people on what an ‘active bystander’ is and equip them with tools to intervene safely.
We also provide resources and facilitate action-planning so that participants can introduce and embed a culture of ‘active bystanding’ in their own institutions.

This training session builds on the Active Bystander presentation at the RES Annual Conferences in 2023 and 2024, and the ‘Be the Change’ video created with funding from the Government Economic Service.
This programme is part of the RES Professional Development offer and supports the RES strategic priorities; bringing communities of economists together, improving diversity, inclusion and integrity in the profession and developing the next generation of economists.
