Transgressive sexual behaviour

A new city, a new beginning.
The KEI Week marks the start of your student life in Groningen! As a student, many things in your life will change. You’ll meet new people, gain much more freedom, and you might swap your familiar home for a small room in the heart of a vibrant city. You’ll make new friends, discover the city, and maybe even experience nightlife for the first time. But how can we make sure it stays fun for everyone?

In nightlife, things don’t always go respectfully. Sometimes comments or behavior cross the line. That’s exactly why it’s important to learn how to set your own boundaries—and to take others’ boundaries seriously too. It’s not always easy, but it does help create a positive and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

On the website Met elkaar trekken we de grens (“Together, we set the boundary”), you’ll find tips on how to interact with others in a respectful and enjoyable way, what fun flirting looks like, and when something might go too far. This way, we can make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable—both on the streets and during a night out.

Do you experience unacceptable behaviour or do you see someone who is being harassed? Then report this to one of our confidential (contact) persons.

Do you need help? You can reacht the Sexual Assault Center day and night for help, at 0800-0188. For more information, have a look at centrumseksueelgeweld.nl/csg-en/.
