Complete your Consent.Ed training!

Our Consent.Ed programme gives you the tools you need to become an active bystander and make positive decisions about your relationships.

It is expected that you and everyone in the LSE community takes part in Consent.Ed. Level 1 and Level 2 should be completed by all students.

You will need to:

• Complete Level 1: your online training - before you arrive on campus.
• Complete Level 2: an in-person workshop that every MSc student in the Department of Statistics must attend. See below. 

Your Level 2 session takes place at various times and locations below, depending on what MSc programme you are on. 

Level 2 sessions will form part of your departmental induction. This will be a 90-minute workshop attended alongside your department peers. In this session you will explore issues around sexual consent, providing an opportunity to discuss how we can look for one another and create a positive, respectful consent culture, where everyone feels safe on campus.

Professor Zoltan Szabo is offering a (free!) Linux mini-course. The event will have a 1h talk, 10 mins break, 1h talk, 20 mins Q&A format and will cover the following:

Title: Linux -- The Operating System of Freedom

Abstract: Respecting freedom is a fundamental need and value in a healthy society. This simple idea (users' freedom) lead to the development of the Linux operating system around 30 years ago, with numerous far-reaching consequences including resource-efficiency, sustainability, transparency, security, privacy, and versatility. The aim of this mini-course is to help you get started with Linux. After a quick historical overview, we will touch upon some Linux variants (so-called distributions), hints on installation and applications for common tasks. 

You are welcome to join upon interest, note that sign up will be required. Details will be provided.
