Egalitarian intimate relationships

In intimate and/or loving relationships, it’s essential for partners to respect each other and for each to feel free to assert himself/herself. In sexual activities, it’s also important to adhere to those values and to have consent from both parties. This workshop wants to demystify and clarify what is an egalitarian relationship. At the end of the animation, a booklet of exercises will be given to the participants in which they will find information and activities related to egalitarian relations.

• Understand the importance of consent and its particularities
