WORKSHOP

19.00 - 22.00
Sólsetrið, Skrauthólar 162 Reykjavík, Iceland

Consent is ​for ​everyone. Consent is ​​essential.​

We all need to be able to talk about Consent and how to build consent culture. Most of us have learned that 'no means no' and 'yes means yes,' but Consent goes way beyond that.

CONSENT & SOVEREIGNTY WORKSHOP is a conversational workshop exploring the foundational pillars of Consent so you can practice consenting more daily. Participation is very encouraged, and your questions center on whether about a first hug, a new relationship, a workplace, or sex.

Consent workshops aim to provide people with information and an opportunity to understand and practice consent, f.e. in a positive space.

Consent is permission for someone to do something or an agreement between people to do something.

In all circumstances where we are intimate with someone, Consent must be established first to ensure everyone feels comfortable and respected.

You can express Consent verbally and physically – so it can be with words, actions, and body language. It must be conscious and voluntary. They are given freely without any manipulation, convincing, or threats.

There are many different types of activities you might experience in a consent workshop. A common one is going through 'consent scenarios.' This could include acting out scenarios in a group or reading and discussing different scenes.

Another activity in our consent workshop is exercises that help you actively practice Consent. You can practice support by learning to make a boundary with another person and noticing and respecting when someone makes a boundary with you. A big part of respecting people's boundaries is recognizing body language.

The workshop is happening with clothes on.
