What is the project about?
The ACT4CONSENT project is an innovative and ambitious initiative that aims to address the issue of consent as it is recognised as a fundamental human right for all EU Members States. 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.
The ACT4CONSENT project aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Increase awareness and understanding of the concept of consent.
- Develop communication skills among schoolteachers, students, and parents to talk about consent.
- Build empathy and respect in local school communities.
- Address harmful societal norms and values which influence young people.
- Foster a sense of community and create a safe school environment for all.
- Provide support and resources to teachers, parents and students to address consent.
