What is social safety for students?

Social safety is assuring a positive and safe environment for all WUR students including yourself. We are all responsible to create this positive environment. Firstly, being here in itself is already a big step! Now keep going and you will be surprised by the benefits of creating a safe space for your friends, colleagues, and fellow WUR students.

Why these challenges?

In a diverse and vibrant multi-cultural environment that WUR has, not everyone has the same knowledge around social safety. To bridge the gap, these challenges are aimed at bringing awareness on this topic and providing tools to create a safe environment around you. You will learn about different aspects of social safety like consent, undesired behaviours, microaggressions, internal safety, among others. Isn’t it cool?

How?

We think the best and most enjoyable way of learning is experiential learning, shared with good company, which makes it more fun. We prepared 12 challenges for you with fun exercises and defiant questions to perform alone or with friends. We also offer you the possibility to join the “safeTEA evenings” where you can meet new friends and do the challenges together.

Start of the challenges
