Creating Consent Culture: a Handbook for Educators by Erica Scott and Marcia Baczynski in this specially written book for educators you will learn to teach and discuss consent issues to young adults, from 10+. The fun, interactive exercises in this book focus on consent in all interactions, not just sexual ones, and explores skills that help young people to increase their relational intelligence and build positive, reciprocal relationships. COMING SOON: online video content to support your learning as an educator. I promise YOU will learn so much from this book and from inviting your students to become Consent Creators too.
