Sex Education Re-Imagined //

Feature in zine

What might the future of sex education look like? Who would be the teachers, who the students? What aspects of current practice would we choose to keep, to discard, to rebuild? And how can history – both our own personal histories, and the wider history of how understandings of sex have changed over time – help us to answer these questions?

Sex Education Re-Imagined takes up these challenges. Produced in response to 'Sex Education Zine Cafe' - an event co-organised by Ashleigh Blackwood and Kit Heyam of Northumbria University, for the 2020 Being Human Festival and International Festival of Consent - it's a collaborative vision for the future of sex education: one that includes pleasure for all genders, openness about intimacy, negotiated consent and boundaries, and integrated sex education across the curriculum.

We hope it sparks new conversations about sex, about what we can learn from history in all its forms, and about how we can change the future.
