Do your parents know that your Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) programme connects with the school’s values? - Susie March

​

Thursday, 25 March, 2021

17:00 – 18:15 PM CET

​

Session Description & Objectives:

How can we increase supportive Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) collaboration with a far more diverse set of parents?

By empowering parents to take up the mantle of “Primary Educators” of CSE, there is an opportunity to create a supportive forum for positive conversations between parents, their children and the school about sexuality and relationships.

​

Takeaways for participants:

​

• Within their context, schools need to find new ways to empower the parents and carers in their specific role in CSE.

• Help parents understand why and how your school’s vision, mission & values are directly connected to the CSE approach.

• Having a well-publicised community-consultative CSE policy will underpin and enhance your program.

 

This event will be facilitated by Tianna Monea, Upper School Academic Leader for Physical Education and Health.
