‘Youth Against Sexual Harassment’ with Michael Kaufman [Break the Silence | Against Family Violence]

November 8th, 2016 | Children and Young People, Events, Gender-based Violence, News

Making peers simulate rape in college orientation games? Secondary school students upskirting teachers? Something’s going terribly wrong on our campuses – and we can do something about it.

If you are a young person (14-21 yo) looking to create safer campus and school communities, this workshop is for you. Over the course of an afternoon, you will meet likeminded youth and exchange ideas on healthy relationships, peer support and sexual consent. You will also get the opportunity to work with peers on initiatives for your community, campus or school. Together we can create a school culture where fun and bonding doesn’t happen at anyone’s expense.

Date: 2 December 2016
Time: 2pm-5pm
Venue: AWARE Centre (5 Dover Crescent #01-22)
RSVP: bit.ly/safecampuses
Registration Deadline: 28 November 2016
