EQHR’s Let’s Talk About Consent

EQHR’s Let’s Talk About Consent is an 80-minute interactive workshop that invites participants to deepen their understanding of consent as an ongoing, relational, and context-dependent practice. Grounded in UVic’s definition of consent, this session explores how identity, personal experience, power, and alcohol shape boundaries, communication, and relationships. 

Participants will be guided through reflective discussion and practical scenarios that examine how power shows up in different types of relationships, what can get in the way of practicing meaningful consent, and how to navigate these moments with care and accountability. The workshop emphasizes skill-building, offering concrete, respectful ways to ask for consent, check in with partners, receive a “no,” and respond supportively when someone discloses harm. 

This session is relevant for anyone who wants to strengthen their consent practices, whether in sexual, romantic, or social contexts, and to better understand the resources and supports available to students at UVic. 

Registration encouraged but not required.
