Education Team

The Survivors to Superheroes Education team is developing a series of workshops for college students designed to provide comprehensive education about sexual violence and consent.

Topics related to sexual violence are often not included in sexual education curricula, and if they are, are often not presented with the goal of creating an understanding of the true nature of consent and sexual violence. Our education project provides resources and workshops that focus on topics related to sexual violence, approaching these sensitive but necessary topics in a survivor-focused, empathetic, and open manner. We hope that educators from a variety of contexts and backgrounds will access our resources and use them to have conversations with their students about sexual violence in an open and honest way, inviting thoughtful conversation about the subject.

If you have any questions about what our education team does, feel free to email Julia at president@survivorstosuperheroes.org .

The ABC's of Consent as Created by Survivors to Superheroes

Consent for any sexual activity should include the ABC’s:

A

ctive Agreement: Consent begins with a discussion. Boundaries are talked about and actively listened to. An agreement is reached on what activities will be ok.

B

eneficial to All: All the people walk away happy and fulfilled. Sexual activity is safe and happy for everybody involved.

C

ontinuing Communication: There is ongoing communication throughout the interaction. This gives everyone an opportunity to say what they do and don’t like throughout the interaction, and to change their mind if they want to.
