Me, searching through my YouTube recommended videos
The group chat
The passive bystander
“Have you tried going for a walk?”

The images for the memes are stills from the Active* Consent play , How I Learned About Consent, taken by Aengus McMahon.
The Active* Consent programme supports young people and those that are important to them (teachers, parents, college staff and policy makers) in building their knowledge of consent as a key component of positive sexual health and well-being.
We create original Irish data-led consent education training resources including workshops, eLearning modules, drama, videos, and social media campaigns for colleges, secondary schools and sports organisations.
