Tinder’s new consent education program represents the dating app’s latest effort to enhance young Australian users’ understanding and application of consent in online interactions.
The initiative, known as School of Swipe, was developed through a partnership between Chanel Contos, the founder of not-for-profit organisation Teach Us Consent, and the Women’s Services Network. Rather than being integrated directly within the app, School of Swipe directs users to an external platform where they can access a range of resources. These include the Dating Dictionary: Consent Edition, a series of informative videos created by the podcast duo the Relatables and additional contextual information provided by Contos herself.
