METRO and Protection Against Stalking (PAS) will be telling us about how to stay safe in the online dating world, and how to create a profile and enjoy getting know people. This is for everyone! Whatever your gender, sexuality, age or current dating status, there will be intel for you to reflect on navigating digital spaces and your online identity. 14:15-15:15 Pleasure and Consent with Ruby Rare For the second session we will be joined by Ruby Rare, a sex-educator, artist, and body-positive champion. She&#x27;s on a mission to engage people of all ages in positive conversations about sex and pleasure. Her work is influenced by her experiences as a queer, non-monogamous, dual-heritage person. She has recently launched the podcast In Touch and is the author of &#x27;Sex Ed: A Guide for Adults&#x27;. You can expect a talk that moves away from the typical heteronormative sex-ed and addresses the ways in which we can tackle the stigmas around consent education and put pleasure first. Ruby is a proud ambassador for Brook, the UK’s leading sexual health charity for young people, co-founder of life drawing collective<a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/body-love-sketch-club-beach-party-tickets-62839358212" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Body Love Sketch Club</a>, and has spoken at <a href="https://www.consortium.lgbt/event/the-long-queer-conversation/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TedXLondon</a>,<a href="https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/141586-wow-big-ideas-saturday-2020" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Women of the World Festival</a>, and on <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07042tg" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">BBC Woman&#x27;s Hour</a>. She is listed as one of 24 figures making a positive change to social media in <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a35989500/positivity-index-2021/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cosmopolitan&#x27;s 2021 Positivity Index</a>. 15:30-17:00 Crafting Consent: a collaborative artwork Our final session invites all participants to reflect on sex-positivity, empowerment, and consent by making a contribution to our community artwork.
