About Cliterate: Cliterate is an interactive anatomical model created to empower people to understand their own anatomy and the anatomy of others. Cliterate's spherical, pull-apart design accurately explains the relationship between the clitoris, vulva, and penis. Cliterate and its supporting educational resources was created to encourage respectful conversations between health practitioners, educators, clients and students. Cliterate is for everyone. They stand for accurate education, more conversations and overcoming the awkward. Resources should be accurate and based on the latest available research.

About the workshop: This workshop will cover a range of topics related to genital anatomy and pleasure. Anita will provide some education on the vulva and labia diversity, clitoris structure, and body physiology and neuropathways. Anita will also speak about body physiology's implications on consent. The webinar will be centred around the use of the Cliterate model as a practical and interactive tool to enable conversation and engagement. They will also cover general anatomy that is often presented incorrectly. There may be some interactive activities, so come prepared with some plasticine or paper you can draw on!

About The RSE Project: Based at Curtin University, The RSE Project provides a range of professional development opportunities to Western Australian schools (K-12) in the area of relationships and sexuality education (RSE). Our training aligns with the Western Australian curriculum and is suitable for all school sectors. Our focus is on supporting teachers (both pre-service and in-service) to deliver RSE in schools. As we strongly advocate that schools embrace a whole-school approach to RSE, we are keen to also support school administrators, support staff, community health nurses and others who work in schools.
