De-escalation Training Workshop | Extinction Rebellion

In this video Rosalin Button and Rown Tilly, representing the newly mandated UK work circle called "Embedding Non-Violence", lead a workshop on the basics of how to maintain or restore an atmosphere of non violence in large crowd occupation scenarios. Situations that might be open and fluid with people coming and going. Emphasis is placed on knowing where you are at on the spectrum... self-care on the one end and taking initiative on the other. In short, do you feel comfortable in being an "an upstander or a bystander"? A series of one on one and group exercises illustrate the importance of practical tools like singing instead of chanting, the historical legacy of non violent actions, striking that delicate balance between bluster and submission when overcoming your own ego and identifying who might be particularly at risk... older women being less at risk as "upstanders" as opposed to young males who might be more at risk.
