9th Annual GDS Summit on Sexual Assault & Consent

This workshop is designed to explore the concept of using peer education and support to foster cultures of consent. Drawing upon insights from the socio-cultural importance of youth-to-youth support systems and the history of historically marginalized and impacted groups creating tools to transform their lived experiences, this workshop addresses societal norms and attitudes that impact sexual education and offers a space for participants to create (or re-create) their own practices for teaching others about consent. By reimagining sex education and our understanding of consent, we can empower individuals to challenge harmful norms and create environments that prioritize respect, empathy, and cultures of consent.
