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, everyone must attend the Opening Ceremony. Here 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.
