9 March 2026. From intimacy to institutions: rethinking consent as an everyday practice

In celebration of International Women's Day, Olympe de Gê will explore how consent is respected, questioned, or sometimes ignored in medical care. Her talk will also consider what this tells us about power, responsibility, and how institutions work. Based on real stories and investigative podcasting, the discussion will extend to universities and teaching environments. 

The goal of the conference is to encourage an open conversation about consent as a shared responsibility that helps create more respectful, fair, and inclusive institutions.
