Outdoor sex education lessons in bathhouses
In the city of Wuppertal, a unique sexual education event is set to take place over several days, offering young people and young adults a safe and inclusive space to explore important topics related to love, body, sexuality, and relationships.
The event, which will be held at the Eckbusch swimming pool on August 5th and 12th, and at the Vohwinkel swimming pool on August 6th/7th and 13th/14th, from 2 to 5 pm, aims to provide age-appropriate sexual education in a relaxed setting. Visibility and acceptance for sexual diversity are promoted, as are different life realities.
The event features an information booth staffed by representatives from various counseling centres, including the Bergische Counseling Center for Sexual Health/Aids Counseling and HIV/STI Coordination at the Wuppertal Health Department, pro Familia Wuppertal, the Counseling Center for Children, Youth, and Parents at the Wuppertal Youth Welfare Office, and the Counseling Center for Sexual Education and HIV/STI Prevention of the AWO Wuppertal.
Open conversations about these topics are offered, with the goal of empowering young people to explore topics like love, consent, contraception, and sexual rights independently. The education is intended to be conveyed in a "life-like, open, and respectful" manner, with the sexual educators aiming to engage actively and sensitively with young people.
In addition to the information booth, the event offers a wheel of fortune with a sexual education quiz and thematically appropriate gifts, as well as a digital quiz with small prizes. The event is open to all bathers, particularly low-threshold for young people, according to organisers.
If you are seeking more specific information about initiatives taken by the Working Group on Sexual Education Wuppertal, it may be necessary to consult local sources such as Wuppertal educational or youth organisations, municipal government websites, or the working group's own publications or digital presence.
