Do you want to talk to the young people in your life about consent? Check out the Taking ACtion Affirmative Consent Resource Toolkit which been co-designed and developed by the Taking ACtion Youth Action Group. Most of the resources are aimed at young people aged 15-25 years old. However, some of the resources are also aimed at adult key influencers – these are key adults in the lives of young people including parents, carers, youth workers and others who work with young people.
If you want to run a 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence activity with young people on affirmative consent and enter the competition, check out the ‘Consent is’ session plan. A session plan has been developed for schools and one for youth and community settings.
‘Consent Is…’ Session Plan
The session plans have developed for practitioners working with young people in schools, youth or community settings to support young people to enter the competition and increase their understanding of affirmative consent. The session plan is not a replacement for holistic consent education or the Respectful Relationships Initiative. More information about the Respectful Relationships Initiative and resources can be found on Arc.
The session plan has been developed for an hour and can be tailored to best suit your students. Key information about consent is provided in bold and should be included in the session if tailoring.
Students under 18 will require parent or guardian consent to enter the competition. The competition submission form has questions to ensure that consent has been obtained and the consent forms are linked in materials list.
