Type of the activity: Education. Education on health issues for specific societal groups, either in the form of projects (set of tasks for a certain group over a fixed period of time), events (something notable that happens) or conferences (form meeting about ideas related to a particular topic, usually over several days).

General description:

Our Activity is based on principles of CSE and peer-to-peer education because pupils that are thought have much better response to knowledge transfer from peer educator than for teacher in school because they may be shy, teachers have lack of sex-positive approach etc. Activity is based on trainers (having graduated IPET or TACSE) that train lecturers who visit schools in pairs and lead workshop where topics such as STI`s and their prevention (practical demonstration on how to use condom properly) or contraception methods are touched and at the end of each workshop is space for anonymous questions. We spread sex-positive approach which means that big part of our workshop sis based on games and interactive exercises. After each workshop feedback is gathered and evaluated. During our workshops condoms gained from sponsors are distributed and also used for workshop purposes.
