SEXtember 2025: A Slice of Consent, a Teach Us Consent Panel

Join us for a student-led conversation where curiosity is encouraged, questions are welcome, and pizza is on the table. In this interactive session, students interview experts to unpack the messy, complex, and essential topics of consent, masculinity, and accountability. 

We’ll explore: 

• What does consent really mean, and how do we actually practise it? 

• How do we talk about masculinity in ways that feel constructive, not critical? 

• What does accountability look like in friendships, communities, and everyday moments? 

• How can we collectively shift from ‘rape culture’ to ‘consent culture?' 

Expect real talk, audience polls interaction, and space to reflect on your role in creating safer, more respectful environments. Whether you’re curious, unsure, or passionate—this is your chance to be part of the conversation. 

Free pizza. Real questions. No judgment
