Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

We gave each attendee glo-sticks of different colors.  We had a reader who shared applicable statistics to our campus, connected each stat to one color, and asked the audience to lift their colored light when it was called.  One of our music groups sang a song once all the lights were illuminated and raised.  That's how we closed out event.

It was a great visual, and way to connect every one personally to the issue and solution.

Subject: Take Back the Night Activities

 

Hi everyone,

Fresh off the momentum of Saturday's marches, I am looking to gather information on possible ways/ideas to celebrate Take Back the Night, for a student group that I am helping advise. Traditionally, our student group has celebrated Take Back the Night with an opening rally, march, and then a speak-out. However, the student group is looking to include another activity instead of the physical march, so I wanted to see what successful options or activities have worked for your campuses and communities, and if they could work here. I've referenced the takebackthenight.org site...but it appears the link to their manual is not working.

Any ideas you have - specifically, for an urban campus - would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Abdul
