Description

In this interactive and transformative workshop, Radical Learning’s Sari González and Becka Koritz will explore how parents and educators can move away from control-based practices and embrace consent-driven approaches to foster meaningful, equitable relationships with young people. Through interactive discussions, reflective activities, and practical tools, participants will uncover the impact of coercion on young people’s autonomy and learn actionable strategies to support their agency and self-directed learning.
