Hey folks!

Check out the info below, and take a Facelook for the address and details!

Psst - one of the workshops is tonight!

Join us at the 2110 for a series of super hot 101-level workshops about sex, consent and pleasure.

These workshops are queer & trans positive. People of all ages, genders and orientations are welcome. Come hang out, ask questions and grab some (free) safer sex necessities. All workshops and events are free and open to everyone!

~Getting Off Getting Off~
Thursday, February 10th
18h – 20h

Safer sex, consent, and communication are the foundations of a rad sex life. How does pleasure fit into the mix? Come talk about bodies, sex, making out, and getting off.

~Film screening & discussion: Year of the Carnivore~
Thursday, February 17th
20h – 23h (?)

Directed by CBC’s Sook-Yin Lee, Year of the Carnivore is a story about unrequited desires and the quest to get “good at” sex. Stay after the screening to talk about the film!

Thanks to Al Blair for the adorable and scandalous poster!

Are you interested in leading sex ed workshops with youth? Do you want to contribute to the Sense Project at Head & Hands? We are currently seeking new volunteer animators for the 2010-11 school year!

Some need-to-know info about applying to be a Sense Project animator:

• New animators must be aged 25 and under
• We’re looking for people who can commit to being an animator for the entire school year (Sept-early Dec, Jan-May)
• Animators should have at least some availability on weekdays during the day. Some evening and weekend availability is appreciated too. Last year’s animators volunteered an average of 65 hours each throughout the school year, but how much you end up volunteering depends on your schedule and your availability.
• Bilingualism is not mandatory, but it’s an asset if you are comfortable animating in French. The working language of the training is English.
• It is also an asset if you have previous animation experience or experience working with youth, but it’s not a requirement.
• It is mandatory to attend the full animator training (see dates below)
