Sex education is first and foremost a conversation. The traditional lecture-style method of presenting information is not only poorly motivating for young people. It is important to appreciate that students often bring their own knowledge and experience when they come to a conversation about sexuality, so it is important to allow them to critically evaluate, add to and adjust the information and experience they already have. This is best done through communication and collaboration in an interactive conversation that focuses on their world.

This workshop seeks to provoke reflection in adolescent students about how people relate to each other in love and sexual relationships. In this material, you will find theory and practice. In addition to well-explained and contextualized concepts, Borja Ruiz-Gutiérrez and Noemí Rois Real have developed activities to work with girls and boys in class. Romeo no longer rents is material to understanding why, sometimes, we exercise or suffer violence in relationships and how we can develop an alternative way of relating based on respect, care, and affection.

PIES began in the 2009/2010 academic year as a program to promote sexual health, at the initiative of the health field, to be implemented directly in schools. PIES is a joint activity of the Conselleria de Sanitat Universal i Salut Pública and the Conselleria d'Educació, Investigació, Cul- tura i Esport. The overall coordination of the program corresponds to the General Directorate of Public Health (DGSP), and within it to the Sexual Health Section of the Service of Health Promotion and Prevention in the Stages of Life. The contents and methodological design for the implementation of the PIES are framed within the approach to sex education in the adolescent population. In early adolescence, somatic changes occur (establishment of puberty) that produce subjective experiential changes in relation to them. These changes are the cause of the beginning of relational processes that are established in a sexual key and that will be consolidated mostly in compulsory secondary school students
