About this Event
Unlocking conversations about sexual health education and sex trafficking can be taboo and tough, even for adults. Learn how "Likely Story" and other games can break down barriers and inspire meaningful conversations. Join us to explore a playful and serious approach designed to get teens talking about relationships, consent, boundaries, love, sex, emotions and so much more. We'll dive into the current state of sexual health education and sex trafficking prevention today, play the game and get hands on with game-design to shape its future together. No previous experience is required.
