Young people are forming ideas about gender, relationships, consent, identity and belonging. They are also navigating online environments that can expose them to harmful messages and behaviour.
Our education sessions create space for age-appropriate learning, honest questions and practical action.
We scope each engagement with the school and content and facilitation are adjusted for age, learning needs, local context and the role of participants.
Programs should sit within a whole-of-setting approach and complement safeguarding, wellbeing and respectful relationships education already in place.
Interactive sessions can explore:
Build a shared understanding of primary prevention and strengthen confidence to reinforce equality and respect across teaching, leadership, policy and school culture.
Provide practical language and tools for conversations with children and young people about gender, relationships, consent, online behaviour and help-seeking.
You can ask that (YCAT) workshops gives young people a safe, facilitated way to explore the questions that can be difficult to ask openly.
YCAT’s are individually tailored and we will recommend a format after discussing the needs of your group.
How the workshops work.
Each workshop is tailored to your audience, learning goals and local context. Young people can submit anonymous questions, allowing facilitators to guide a safe, respectful and relevant discussion. The session gives young people practical knowledge, tools and strategies to build respectful relationships, promote gender equality, respond to harmful comments or behaviours, support their peers and become champions for positive change.
Topics can include gender stereotypes, respectful relationships and consent, warning signs, bystander action, online behaviour, technology-facilitated abuse, seeking help and safely supporting others.
