Hallo : Sex Education in the school with I'm World

  An Inclusive Teenage Guide to Relationships and Sex

Sex Ed: An Inclusive Teenage Guide to Sex and Relationships was written by the School of Sexuality Education. By that time, we had been conducting sex and relationship education workshops in schools for a number of years, and we wanted to make the most of all the knowledge we had acquired. We determined that the best way to do that would be to co-write a book that students around the nation could access, regardless of who they were or where they were.

Our team, which consists of physicians, educators, activists, and academics, believed that it was crucial to include many various viewpoints and voices in the book, both in terms of expertise and the particular mixes of life experiences that make each of us individuals. As a result, it was truly a team effort, and we are proud of it, to be honest! The outcome, in our opinion, is an encouraging, useful, and powerful manual for teenagers that addresses challenging subjects in an accepting and nonjudgmental manner.

Each of the nine chapters—consent, gender, sexuality and identity, relationships, the body, what is sex?, reproductive health, sexual health, body image, and online life—concentrates on a different one of those complex subjects. We hope to address the concerns that young people—people of all ages, really—might not feel comfortable raising elsewhere.

We also included a few more sections in addition to the chapter's primary text. One of these is the "myth vs truth" boxes, which offer factual data to refute some of the widespread "myths" about sex and relationships that frequently surface in the classroom. Additionally, there are "did you know?" boxes that reveal amusing or intriguing facts, "tips and tricks" sections, and "consider" boxes that provide additional information to aid readers in seeing the "larger picture." Last but not least, each chapter also includes a variety of "unembarrassable moments" when various team members relate anecdotes about their own personal experiences to tie the knowledge to some real-life situations and demonstrate that we are truly invulnerable!

The book is crammed with information due to the variety of themes and features it covers, yet readers aren't expected to absorb everything at once. Teenagers can read the chapters in whatever order they like, or they can simply skim the different sections until they find something they're interested in. It really is for anybody and everyone, so we've included some comments in the back for teachers and parents in case they wish to use the book to initiate dialogues with the young people in their lives.

We hoped that Sex Ed could be used as a planning and teaching tool when we wrote the note for teachers, so we're thrilled that several teachers have already expressed their appreciation for its value in helping them to clarify information, spark discussion, and determine the best way to frame concepts. In response to this positive feedback, we are currently attempting to get at least one copy into each school library in the UK. This will not only benefit more teachers, but it will also provide every youngster in the nation access to the crucial knowledge the book contains, giving them the chance to comprehend themselves, their relationships, and one another better.

Given the lofty goal of having Sex Ed in every UK school, we are raising money through crowdfunding to send copies of the book to 1,000 schools by the end of 2022. Please click on this link for further details if you're interested in helping us accomplish this.
