“Sexuality and relationship in youth education” is a 5-days training course aiming at equip youth workers, educators, young leaders, teachers and social workers with the skills and knowledge they need to create supportive environments where sexuality can be discussed openly with young people. By increasing the capacity of practitioners to engage with young people in a respectful, inclusive and informed way, the project aims to reduce gender discrimination and empower individuals to create safer and more supportive communities.
Learning objectives

  • Develop competences and skills to feel confident in talking about sexual education and feelings with young people in order to increase their understanding of themselves
  • Explore personal knowledge and sensitiveness, terminology about the topic
  • Share methods and practices and drafting new ones

 

Profile of participants:

  • Youth workers, educators, youth leaders, teachers, social workers who work regularly with young people aged between 14 -30 y/old and want to develop new skills or strengthen existing ones on the topic.
  • Participants have to be actively involved and working with the supporting organisation to carry out activities at local level once back in their home country
  • Participation in this TC is an opportunity to explore potential partnerships for the future implementation of large-scale projects within Erasmus+ and other EU programmes on the topic of sexuality education.

IMPORTANT. With the aim of creating a mixed learning environment, also based on the exchange of practices and methods already implemented, the group of participants will have a mixed composition in terms of skills and knowledge, thus encouraging the participation of practitioners with established knowledge on the subject, but also of those who want to address the topic in order to develop, for the first time, non-formal educational approaches for young people aged 14-30.
