Resume

Det overordnede formal med denne partnerskabsintervention er at styrke Sex & Samfunds Georgiske søsterorganisation HERA XXI i forhold til effektivt at inddrage forældre i seksualundervisning for unge og engagere parlamentarikere i kampen for at realisere seksualundervisning i Georgiens formelle uddannelsessystem. Indsatsen skal samtidig styrke partnerskabet mellem de to organisationer gennem gensidig kapacitetsopbygning: af HERA XXI når det gælder seksualundervisningskampagner rettet mod forældre og af Sex & Samfund når det gælder arbejdet med seksuel og reproduktiv sundhed og rettigheder i en Centraleuropæisk kontekst. Indsatsen omfatter derudover udvikling af en online platform rettet mod forældre samt dialog med parlamentarikere i hhv. Danmark og Georgien. HERA XXI og Sex & Samfund vil gennem partnerskabsindsatsen videreudvikle en fælles forståelse af værdierne og metoderne der ligger til grund for god seksualundervisning i den europæiske region samt udveksle erfaringer og god praksis.
