Film + Debate: The Challenge of Talking About Sex with Young People

What do we talk about when we talk about sex? What if we are talking about this with children? Where is sex education in communicating with children or students? How and where do young people get answers to their questions?
From Anne van Campenhout’s Foreplay, a fun and uncomplicated documentary on how sex education is done in a Dutch school, we launched the debate (with input from expert guests) with the intention of coming up with answers that contribute to better relationship with sex education, between parents and children, school and students.

The film that inspires this debate, Foreplay, by Anne van Campenhout can be seen in the Intimacy (+15 years) session.
