The Art of Consent's workshops for students look at consent in three ways:
1. Consent for Harm Prevention
2. Consent as a Personal Skill, and
3. Consent as a Community Culture.
The Art of Consent acknowledge that consent and personal boundaries are relevant to all areas of our lives: with our friends and families, with acquaintances, and in our professional and educational relationships.
They understand that establishing consent can be challenging for any number of reasons, including peer pressure, our experiences of privilege or marginalisation, personal trauma, social conditioning, group dynamics and professional and social power imbalances.
The good news is that consent and boundaries skills can be improved with practice. We can develop our self-awareness and relationship-building skills by learning to trust and communicate our own needs, boundaries and desires, and honouring those of others.
