Consent: In-Depth

The sexuality education and support organization Scarleteen provides real resources about teen sexuality. The article Driver's Ed for the Sexual Superhighway: Navigating Consent was created by these talented folks and thoroughly delves into the topic of consent. This is a great read that puts the meaning and significance of consent into perspective. Some of the useful tools from the article: tips on how to ask and assure consent; tables with verbal and nonverbal signs of consent & non-consent; and a fun "consent traffic light".

So you're on board with the idea of consent, perhaps presented some talking points, and now it's time for something more interactive. Break the Silence, a group of Seattle, WA students, offers a zine called How to Put Together Your Own Consent Workshop! This alternative style curriculum provides definitions,  activities, resources, and tips for facilitation. Not only is the information useful but the format is something fresh.    

Consent: Everyday 

What's so rad about The Consensual Project? Well lots: school resources, workshops, a blog. But also, when you visit the site a pop-up message asks if you consent to visiting this site. This small action helps normalize the behavior of obtaining consent -- clever and respectful! Follow them on Twitter - @TheConsensual for more ways to integrate consent into daily life.
