Gezonde School considers it important to work sustainably and structurally on the theme of Relationships and Sexuality and to embed the theme. Gezonde School does this together with our partners Rutgers, Stichting School en Veiligheid and Soa Aids Nederland. In the hope that pupils and students will gain equal access to information, regardless of which school they attend. On this particular afternoon, the theme of Relationships and Sexuality will be a topic of everyday conversation. From cultural, gender and sexual diversity, a positive view of relationships and sex, changes in the body, sexting and much more. The aim is to apply useful tips and examples in their own lessons, the school environment, identification and policy.
