Students will also practice advocating and respecting boundaries.

FLIRTING: It's Not Dead Yet!
What is flirting, really? A way to meet a partner, a way to make new friends, a way to put feelers out for a potential hookup? We say all of the above, and then some!
Flirting: we all know the word but what does it mean? For such a common act of human interaction, there is no one-size-fits all definition. Regardless of if you're stuck wondering if they were flirting or just being nice, we believe consensual flirting is still possible! ;)
This workshop digs into this nuance, and explores the intersections of flirting, romance, seduction, hook-ups, and affirmative consent.
Target audience: College students, student clubs, classes, or other campus groups
Time: 60-90 mins
Program needs: Projector/video capabilities preferred
