LESSON 5 - Teaching Consent to Older Youth
Much of what we learn in our teen years is taught in the hallways, locker rooms and social media. Taking charge of the narrative is critical to ensure that the right message is taken home.
By addressing these topics directly, older students can reflect on their understandings and know that there is a place for them in these conversations.

But as the #MeToo movement changes the landscape of sexual interactions, we need to start fully including boys in the conversation. Produced by Tedx Talks.
