ACT4Consent empowers educators to discuss consent with kids in the classroom by utilizing drama and storytelling.
Grant Agreement Number: 2023-1-DE03-KA220-SCH-000151276
Funded by: Erasmus+ Duration: 01/09/2023 – 31/08/2025
Challenge
Consent is recognized as a fundamental human right. The EU has taken steps to ensure that consent is respected and upheld in all types of relationships, including sexual relationships. Specifically, in 2017, the EU adopted the Istanbul Convention, which is a legal framework for addressing violence against women and domestic violence.
Understanding the importance of consent is essential for building healthy and respectful relationships, preventing sexual assault and harassment, and creating a safer and more inclusive society. Despite its importance, however, it has not adequately been addressed in the school curricula across Europe, leaving young people to rely on informal sources such as peers, and mainly the internet for information.
Innovation
ACT4Consent aims to use the artistic disciplines of drama and storytelling to help teachers address the topic of consent with students in their classrooms.
