The Presentation That We Give:

Introduction

The introduction to the presentation is unique to each individual presenter. There are many points which must be expressed, such as the confidentiality of the discussion, but each presenter may decide which is the best way to introduce the program. Some statistics are introduced to spark interest and to prepare people for the following discussion. The main purpose of this portion of the presentation is to tell the group who we are and why we are there.

Ice Breaker

After the introduction, the program proceeds to an ice breaker called concentric circles. This allows the group to find out what they will be discussing and attempts to encourage them to participate actively in the discussion. The leader of this ice breaker walks around and listens to select responses in order to get a feel for the crowd.

Video: Playing the Game and Focused Discussion

This portion of the presentation consists of a short 15-minute video which portrays a stereotypical situation involving sexual assault. There are many different views presented in the video and they often insight a discussion about numerous issues and myths surrounding sexual assault.

Wrap-Up and Evaluation

At the conclusion of the discussion we wrap up the presentation by attempting to give some advice to the group as well as receive feedback from them. We also have some brochures and pamphlets that we hand out at this point.

Hall Or Group Programs:

What Are They?

The only way that we can reach the students and community members of the University of Rochester is to do hall and group programs. We have noticed that that belief in rape myths decreases by 50% just after our program, and by 33% two months later. With this success rate, we are always eager to present to your group or hall.
