Find out what we're looking for from a consent workshop facilitator and details on how to apply.

Consent is everything

*This opportunity is available for current NTU students, alumni fellows, and current NTU/NTSU colleagues.

Why should I become a consent workshop facilitator?

You'll be part of a culture-changing programme that will reduce the prevalence of sexual violence and increase awareness of the support available. But there are lots of other benefits too:

You'll gain useful transferable skills to apply in the workforce and in your academic career such as: public speaking, communication, teamwork, facilitation and having difficult conversations.
You can add it your HEAR certificate.
You'll join a network of like-minded individuals. We schedule fun events throughout the year to help consent facilitators to get to know each other.
As a thank you gift, you will be awarded £5 per workshop, which will be credited to your NTU student card monthly (only available for student volunteers).

Hear from some of last year's facilitators

Hear from some of our previous consent facilitators on why they loved being a part of this programme.

Shine Sebastian, Pharmacology

"Being a facilitator for the Consent Is Everything (CIE) workshops has been one of the best decisions I have made since joining NTU. In my previous educational experiences, I had not seen any initiative addressing these issues, so it has been truly inspiring to witness NTU’s proactive approach in ensuring the safety and well-being of future generations.

I feel proud to have contributed to the impact of these workshops, educating students and encouraging them to engage in conversations that are critical for creating a safer, more informed community."

Mahek Sahgal, Graphic Design

“Being a consent facilitator has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I feel proud to be part of such a warm, supportive, and welcoming team. It’s always been important to me to make a difference, and this role has given me a meaningful way to do that.

It’s not just about delivering information, but about creating a space for important conversations, helping students feel heard, and fostering a culture of respect and understanding.

It has helped me grow in confidence, improve my communication skills, and reinforce my belief in the power of education and open dialogue. I feel grateful to be part of this initiative, and I’m so proud of the work we do."

Ria Lyons, Fashion Marketing Management and Communication

"The workshops are one of the best things I’ve done with my time at NTU. I am in my final year and the team are so flexible with academic obligations, and always eager for feedback to keep the workshops up to date and as representative as possible.

"Facilitation and presentation skill building aside, I’ve learnt so much about myself and the student body regarding consent and the culture surrounding it. Developing positive and respectful relationships in the classroom has been incredibly rewarding and healing for me. I have always felt supported and encouraged by my co-facilitator too. I really admire the work this programme does and I’m so proud to be part of a team with a shared drive for positive, inclusive change."
