Aims & approach

The Reducing The Harm: Talking About Pornography professional workshop develops educators' understanding of the nature of today's sexualised media and pornography and its influence on their developing attitudes, expectations and behaviours. It explores how pornography is shaping relationships and sexuality and introduces educators to resources available to support them in addressing the harms of pornography.

The workshop equips participants with up-to-date information, conversation starters, practical strategies and resource recommendations.

The Talking About Pornography student workshop explores and develops students' understanding of the nature of today's sexualised media and pornography and its influence on their developing attitudes, expectations and behaviours. Students are encouraged to think critically about how pornography may influence relationships, sexuality, body image, violence, respectful relationships, consent, harmful sexual behaviours, problematic/compulsive viewing, health, wellbeing, and safety. Critical media literacy is woven throughout this session.

The 90-minute workshop is suitable for students in Years 9 to 12.
