Curiosity Labs
Sometimes it can feel like everyone knows how to ask someone out, share with a partner our needs or get over a breakup but us. The reality is many of us struggle with fostering relationships.
We created Curiosity Labs to be a shame-free experimental space to explore relationships with your peers.
In Curiosity Labs workshops:
- We learn from each other, ask questions and build our relationship skills together.
- We explore ways we can flirt, set boundaries, handle rejection, apologize, communicate and deal with conflict through interactive activities, writing prompts and pop culture examples.
- You will leave each workshop with tangible relationship tools.
You can take all or one of the seven workshops throughout the school year.
Curiosity Labs is a partnership with Consent is Golden Laurier and Consent Comes First.
