The Project
The content of our Consent Days are altered to reflect the age of the students attending. They consist of either 1 or 2 workshops for up to 65 at a time that can be repeated several times throughout the day.
Workshop 1 includes four short scenes which look at consent in variety of different scenarios - following each one, the two performers and facilitator lead the pupils in debate around their views on the characters, focussing on the perpetrators' motives.
Workshop 2 (optional) is led by just one facilitator, who leads the students in debate around impulse control, communication styles, pornography and rape culture.
Ultimately, we guide the students to look at consent through a moral lens, to explore their own attitudes and desires and to the reasons why someone, of any gender, might choose to harass or assault another person. The day aims to help them recognise those behaviours in both themselves and other people.
