Sexuality

In this teaching program, we examine how society has changed the way we talk about, and perceive, sexuality.

Hygiene, reproductive science, sex education and sexuality education are all names for a topic that has had very different content, but deals with the same important aspect of human life. Students will work on tasks, games and activities that put today's sexuality education into perspective.

    The teacher's role

    We want you as an adult to be active, participating and curious. Teachers are responsible for the group throughout the visit and may be asked to help along the way. Explainer is responsible for implementing the program. 

    Before the visit

    It is important to prepare the students before the visit. We will be talking about sexuality, and the students will be invited to participate without sharing personal experiences. Feel free to review what makes for a good conversation in advance. The class will be divided into two groups, and it is an advantage if this is clarified before the visit.

    After the visit

    Reflect and discuss with the students after the lesson, preferably in groups.

    You meet one of us!
