More OWL...
This weekend I am helping to coordinate another SR OWL weekend. 30 - 40 youth will meet at our church for three days to learn about human sexuality and relationships. We divide them into small groups for the weekend, and they participate in about 9 workshops over Friday and Saturday.
I am a team leader, so I coordinate our team, which will be one of the small groups. Our team is doing workshops on:
- Gender Equality (male/female power)
- Choosing whether to have kids, Adopting children
- New Reproductive Technologies (Ethical problems)
- Sexual relationships - (looking at the range of sexual relationships through life)
- Gay Pride Parade (how to provide support - be an ally to friends)
- Masturbation Myths (frank discussion about masturbation as a sexual option)
- Safe Sex Fantasies (guidance on using fantasies in a safe way)
Plus there are whole group sessions on consent, and age differences in dating.
This represents about 1/4 of the curriculum. Each time youth participate, they do 25%.
