Diversity Festival: Consent and Healthy Relationships workshop

Start Date: 2 March 2023 2:00 pm

End Date: 2 March 2023 4:00 pm

Location: 013 Binks, Exton Park

As part of our Citizen Student Strategy, we want University of Chester students to make a positive impact on society.

The conversation around consent and healthy relationships is growing and we want to help our students understand why. Earlier this year, the results of our campus climate survey highlighted that our students believe education is key in prevention and that there is a desire for this across campus.

This workshop will cover what we mean when discussing consent, what constitutes a healthy relationship, sexual violence and the impacts of trauma.

This event is aimed at all Key Representative Students to enable them to engage in conversations with fellow students on this topic and have the confidence to challenge negative behaviours or beliefs.
