Consent Education in Schools
Launch library · evergreen read
Age appropriate consent education in schools helps young people build healthy habits and expectations well before they ever need them in their own relationships and friendships. It reflects the kind of culture worth building deliberately over time. This is a habit worth passing on to the next generation. This is a genuinely valuable investment in a kinder, safer community.
Starting simple, with ideas like asking before touching or respecting someone's belongings, lays groundwork that becomes more nuanced as students grow older together over time. It shapes the culture that everyone eventually grows up within. This is something every community can genuinely contribute toward together. This is worth returning to as circumstances and communities continue to change.
