• Active* Consent Workshop
  The Active* Consent workshop was developed in NUIG by the Active Consent team. It provides a safe space to explore the nuances of sexual consent and how best to negotiate active sexual consent. The workshop is based on extensive research by the NUIG Consent team into young people’s sexual behaviours, attitudes and beliefs. The aim is to not merely give young people the tools to recognise and communicate consent, but to also promote a positive and confident approach to their sexual health. The Active* Consent workshop gives young people engaging and up-to-date information and skills that are practical and relevant for their own relationships.
