I'm delighted to be joined by Natalie Stokell, who is sharing practical activities teachers can use to bring consent and sex ed topics to life for students. Natalie shares 5 hands-on activities that get students discussing communication, boundaries, and negotiation.
Episode Highlights:
- Consent education should go beyond a "yes/no" model and explore nuances of the topic
- Hands-on activities like massages or personal space exercises help students feel consent concepts in their bodies
- Involving peers in discussions provides different perspectives than single-gender conversations
- Role playing scenarios gives students practice implementing consent tools and language
- Bringing topics to life with activities better engages students than just lectures or notes
