Description
This workshop combines creative expression and reflection. Clay is a flexible and transformative material which can be shaped into various forms. Because of its earthly nature and association with the ground we live on, it has grounding properties.
Consent is not just something we give or receive, but a physical experience. Our body informs us of our wants and needs as well as our boundaries. It also perceives (non-verbal) signals from the people we interact with. When we are grounded and tuned in, we can connect to that information. Working with clay is an example of a creative practice that can help us do so.
Through parallels between shaping clay and shaping interactions we explore our own bodily awareness: in the here and now with the clay and in connecting with others. The workshop is just as much about reflecting on bodily awareness as it is about enjoying your own creativity and connecting with peers. You are most welcome!

Praktische informatie

- Location: Café De Wakende Haan, Vrouwensteeg 16, Leiden
- Time: 20.00 - 22.00
- Language: English (with Dutch translation on the slides)
Description
Do you think you know your own generation when it comes to dating, relationships and sex? How many students actually use dating apps? How satisfied are young people with the sex education they’ve received? And do your fellow students share your views on love, sex and boundaries?
During this interactive pub quiz, you’ll test your knowledge using surprising facts and statistics. At the same time, you’ll discover just how differently people can think about topics that concern almost everyone, but which we don’t always talk about openly.
Are you curious? Come along! It’s low-key, fun and perhaps just a little more educational than you might have expected. And you can win something: a three-month membership for the University Sports Centre!
Organisation
The Seksualiteitschool is an educational organisation dedicated to encouraging open, honest and inclusive discussions about relationships, sexuality and social safety. We deliver guest lessons to students, organise parent information evenings and provide training for professionals in sectors such as education and healthcare. Taking a sex-positive approach, we create a relaxed and positive atmosphere that leaves room for humour, curiosity and honest conversations.
