🌍 About the Event
This international Conference – Symposium – Forum takes place in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 and focuses on sexual health, consent, safeguarding, empowerment, and cross-sector responsibility in youth-related work.
Across Europe, young people navigate complex realities related to relationships, consent, identity, power, and safety. These issues are not limited to one sector — they appear in youth work, schools, sports clubs, vocational education, volunteering environments, and adult education settings.
This transnational symposium brings together professionals from different sectors to create a shared European dialogue, exchange practices, and strengthen cooperation around sexual wellbeing and consent education.
The event places youth work practice at its core while fostering mutual learning across sectors.
