Expect Respect is a 6-hour interpersonal violence prevention workshop series created by St. Olaf students and staff and aimed at preventing interpersonal violence at the community level. The peer-facilitated series will explore the intersectional nature of sex, culture, and violence to provide participants with the realistic tools necessary to create and foster a safe environment. Throughout the workshop, videos, role-plays, and other interactive exercises are utilized to help participants apply the concepts in the curriculum to their own lives.
