๐ ๐ฌ Last Week, CUE had the privilege of hosting a workshop on sexual consent as part of Utrecht Universityโs Cultural Appreciation Week. We engaged 12 students in thought-provoking conversations about what consent truly means to them personally. Despite the chilly weather in Utrecht, the students’ engagement quickly warmed the space. ๐ฅ

They discussed how the way we rely on implicit or explicit information can vary greatly depending on the relationship and the person involved. They also explored how this reliance can be limited to specific situations or contexts, highlighting the complexity of communication in different settings. ๐

One student shared how consent was normalized in her family, while another spoke about growing up in a small Christian village where such topics were seldom addressed. These varied experiences emphasized the different factors that shape our understanding of intimacy. ๐
