Positive outlook developing: sexual identity and education

Through the project we intend to develop dynamic education strategies for youth in the area of sexuality that can be integrated into the work of NGOs and educational institutions.

The aim is to support a systematic change in the approach with which the topic of sexual identity is dealt with, encouraging openness to dialogue through a bottom-up method, from young people, youth workers, educators, public and private, to policy making.

Starting from young people’s perceptions, educators’ and experts’ considerations, awareness of the real, social and political dynamics, and the good practices of partner NGOs, more accessible educational resources are created, inclusive and appropriate for young people. Youth Workers have the opportunity to learn new knowledge to increase the issues they can focus on with their their own NGOs while providing their skills to create interactive, creative and inspiring materials that provide solutions to youth and community information gaps
