Active* Consent

Based at the University of Galway, the Active* Consent programme has pioneered sexual consent education and research with young people throughout Ireland since 2013.

Active* Consent has grown into a national programme, supporting educational institutions with innovative methods that support healthy relationships and the prevention of sexual violence and harassment.

The programme ethos is that consent is Ongoing, Mutual, and Freely Given – for all relationships, genders and orientations. Consent is for everyone
and for everything. It’s for each type of intimacy, if or when someone chooses to become intimate.
