#ConsentCulture stands as a foundational workshop for preventing Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), designed for UK students. The workshop's primary focus is to impart an understanding of the concept of consent, distinguishing what it entails and what it does not. Additionally, participants will familiarize themselves with the university's specific definition of consent. The workshop aims to equip attendees with the knowledge to collectively and individually extend the boundaries and comprehension of consent. Ultimately, the goal is to foster a culture deeply rooted in consent within the UK student community.
"How to Help a Friend" is designed to empower individuals with effective ways to respond when someone they care about is either currently facing or has previously experienced Interpersonal Violence. By lending actionable advice and fostering empathy, the workshop offers participants guidance in creating a safer environment for those around them.
