Consent is an ongoing conversation. Before, during, and after.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our Consent Cafe. Whether you built your own cup or just joined the conversation, we hope you left with a clearer understanding of what consent looks and feels like in real interactions.

Remember: consent is about communication,checking in, and respecting boundaries, yours and others’.

The conversation doesn’t stop here.

Consent is more than a YES. It is communication, respect, and care.

Stop by our Consent Cafe to build your own ‘cup’ of what consent looks and feels like to you. Through a quick interactive activity,you’ll reflect on boundaries, values, and what healthy, respectful interactions really mean.
