Workshops & Programmes
Workshops
Our workshops are an opportunity to engage young people in thinking critically about a range of SRE topics from puberty to contraceptive choices. We provide the space to explore single topics in detail giving young people the chance to address taboos, critically assess shame and stigma associated with sexual and reproductive well-being and redefine what these issues mean to them.
We facilitate educational workshops on a range of topics including puberty, menstruation and sexual health.
Resources: games, small group work, reflective exercises, short video, questions and answers.
Outcomes: By the end of a one-off education session young people will:
- Know where to access information and support on the topic and understand their right to access confidential support services.
- Be able to think critically about personal and social values and beliefs linked to the topic.
- Be motivated and inspired to challenge beliefs or practices that they think are wrong, unfair or unequal in relation to the topic.
- Be able to identify what is important to them in relation to the topic.
- Be curious to find out more about the topic or general sexual health and well-being.
Delivery Time: 50 minutes (average lesson time) but this can be amended based upon off timetable days, numbers of workshops being delivered per day and organisational need.
The environment we learn in influences how we engage with learning that’s why we like to establish a relaxed and informal atmosphere for learners while still delivering a focused and thought provoking programme.
