Festivals Education: An opportunity to discuss the intricacies of Law & RSHE in a meaningful way at your school
Your students are likely to be heading off to festivals and parties this summer… How can you help ensure they stay safe and make informed choices before they go? Boardmasters is generously funding this much-needed education initiative delivered by It Happens Education and Schools Consent Project, to drive meaningful change by increasing conversations and preparation ahead of these events. This session will focus on education about the law in a relatable context and the complexities of adolescent choices and intimate behaviours in these environments. We can help your school seize that pre-summer moment and suggest a variety of ways to meaningfully inform parents & upskill young people before they head off into these challenging new spaces.
