Consent Educator Retreat

Description:
Consent in our culture is evolving, expanding, and something people need to learn about. Teaching about it requires an in-depth understanding of the complexities and nuance surrounding consent in today's world.

During this two and a half day retreat our experts will cover the following topics through discussion, exercises, and collaborative engagement:
* What is Consent: From the Basics to the Complexities
* Your Personal Relationship to Consent
* How to Talk about Consent in Context
* Managing Consent Complexity in Education
* Potential Problems & Issues with Teaching Consent
* Getting Started on Your Lesson Plans

This retreat is for people who already have some experience teaching/educating. We will help you turn the skills you already have towards this essential topic.

All sexes, genders, and identities 21 years of age or older are welcome.

About the Facilitators:
The Consent Academy is a group of dedicated educators and activists who provide quality consent training and consultations. We have come together to promote Consent Culture through education, speaking out, and supporting organizations that want to do better. We talk about consent and consensual activity a lot. Its the cornerstone of what we teach and who we are. And while that is easy to say, we know that living a dedication to consent takes work, awareness, and a willingness to engage.

The Consent Academy has a book forthcoming in Autumn 2019 entitled "The Consent Primer"; written by Sar Surmick, Rachel Drake, Lara-Ashley Monroe, Kelley O'Hanlon, and Leah Hirsch.
