Be part of the change
Sexuality and relationships education is not only about those who receive it, but also about those who contribute to making it accessible, visible and meaningful.
Young people, educators, families and communities all have a role to play in building a more inclusive, respectful and aware society.
Why does it matter?
Education is one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent gender-based violence. But for it to be effective, sexuality & relationships education must go beyond traditional notions of sexual health. It needs to address deeper issues such as power dynamics, gender norms, discrimination and the social structures that shape our relationships.
Simplifications and dismissive narratives – such as “not all men” or victim-blaming attitudes – prevent real understanding and meaningful change.
At the same time, Comprehensive Sexuality Education across Europe still faces significant gaps. When it exists, it is often limited in scope, framed negatively, or shaped by heteronormative perspectives. Many educators do not receive sufficient training, and a large proportion of young people turn instead to social media and websites as their main sources of information.
This makes it even more urgent to promote a comprehensive, inclusive and intersectional approach to sexuality and relationships education – one that supports prevention, awareness and healthier relationships.
Choose the space for you:
Youth Advisory Board (YAB)
If you are between 15 and 25, you can join the Youth Advisory Board and become part of a group where you can reflect, exchange ideas and actively contribute to change. You will have the opportunity to take part in local activities in Palermo, international mobility experiences across Europe, and the co-creation of content and initiatives.
Local Board on Comprehensive Sexuality Education
If you are a professional, educator or decision-maker, you can join our Local Board on CSE and become part of a collaborative space for exchange, learning and action. It is an opportunity to connect with others working in the field, share practices and contribute to coordinated efforts at local level.
Being part of these spaces means more than participating – it means helping to shape a culture based on respect, equality and awareness.
