Ethics in Action: Creating Your Own Kink Education Code of Conduct

This workshop is organized around the Kink Education Code of Conduct (KECC)—a widely adopted ethics framework for kink educators and producers that guides teaching, consent, boundaries, accountability, and inclusion.

We’ll explore the KECC’s foundational principles and then shift into hands-on work: collaboratively refining your own custom code of conduct grounded in those same principles.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a draft code you can adopt, adapt, or use as a model for your communities, classes, or personal practice.

Who Should Attend:

• Kink educators, workshop facilitators, community organizers

• Hosts, moderators, producers

• Anyone wanting to deepen ethical clarity and accountability in their kink or education spaces

• People who want to build a code of conduct that resonates with their own values but grounded in a rigorous shared framework

What to Bring / Prepare:

• Willingness to share, reflect, and receive feedback

• Paper or document to take notes on

• Optional: Background Knowledge on the KECC
