  5. Young & Powerful Special Edition: Politiek neutrale seksuele voorlichting, kan dat eigenlijk wel?

    Young & Powerful Special Edition: Politiek neutrale seksuele voorlichting, kan dat eigenlijk wel?

    Send us a text Wat betekent het eigenlijk om "politiek neutrale" seksuele voorlichting te geven? In deze aflevering duiken we in de discussie over hoe seksualiteit op scholen wordt onderwezen en of politiek neutrale voorlichting uberhaupt mogelijk is.  We spreken met twee jongeren over hun ervaringen: wat hebben ze geleerd, wat misten ze, en wat hadden ze liever anders gezien? Daarnaast gaan we in gesprek met Belle Barbé specialist in seksuele opvoeding, over het belang van open gesprekken over seksualiteit en hoe scholen dit beter kunnen aanpakken. Waarom is seksuele voorlichting nog steeds zo’n gevoelig onderwerp? Hoe beïnvloeden politiek en maatschappelijke overtuigingen wat jongeren leren? En wat is er nodig om iedereen – ongeacht achtergrond of identiteit – goed voor te bereiden op gezonde relaties en seksuele keuzes?
