Problem addressed

Sexuality is a constant presence in students' lives, but teacher training lacks adequate tools to address it. Educators often face situations they cannot ignore, yet feel unprepared to respond appropriately. This gap increases vulnerability and limits effective dialogue in schools.

Innovative solution

The project combined sex education with drama-based learning, creating a safe space where teachers could explore sensitive topics through roleplay, shared reflection, and interactive methods. It not only transferred knowledge but also supported mindset shifts and long-term attitudinal change.

Key results and benefits

Teachers gained tools and confidence to integrate sexuality education into their classrooms

Taboos were openly addressed through guided conversations and activities

A detailed session plan was created for future use by other educators

Drama pedagogy proved effective for processing personal and social issues

Students can now better understand their bodies, recognize abuse, and access child protection mechanisms

Potential for mainstreaming

The workshop series is documented and can be adapted by any drama-trained teacher, trainer, or coach. It can be scaled nationally via partnerships between civil and educational actors. Sessions can be embedded into class teacher sessions and ethics curricula.
