About Us – The Team behind the Green Light Project

Students who want to make a difference

We came together as a team because the topic of consent and safe interpersonal relationships is something we care deeply about.

We come from very different fields of study — psychology, management, physics and more — bringing a range of perspectives and experiences.

What unites us: we want to give young people something we ourselves needed earlier in life.

That's why we volunteer our time, invest in workshops and create a space where open conversations are possible and real education happens.

We welcome any support — get in touch if this topic matters to you, whether you already bring experience or simply want to make a difference!

"In a world where parents, friends and social media constantly direct expectations and rules at young people, it can be difficult to navigate sensitive topics like dating and intimacy. That is exactly where we want to step in — supporting young people in learning to recognise their own needs and listen to them, in order to avoid unwanted and uncomfortable situations. Together with my team, I want Green Light Project to serve as an extended sex education offering that helps young people recognise their own boundaries and wishes and communicate them with confidence. In doing so, we create a safe space for eye-level conversations, while also giving students the chance to actively advocate for sexual self-determination."
