How to Navigate the Festival Safely (90 minute Session on Zoom)

Meet the festival presenters, learn about verbal and body consent, and how best to navigate through the festival.

To ensure that all festival participants can practice informed consent, all new attendees must attend this session, which will happen on Zoom at 6pm the night before the festival. (Link given on registration)

In this session we provide a framework to enable participants to express their wishes and boundaries in clear ways, and to gracefully accept refusal. We look at topics like stating one's boundaries, impulse control, how to deal with undesired interactions and partner choice. We also provide important tools about how to read body consent and spatial awareness, which supports verbal communication.
