Introduction

Write our name, website address and phone number on the board before you start. You can also write your names on the board.

Hi, my name is _____________ and I volunteer for ……….. We work to promote youth health, awareness, responsibility and action about safe sex, healthy relationships, HIV and sexually transmitted infections. Today we will take a look at some scenarios that cover these topics.

Today I’m here to talk about sex. There’s so much information about sex available –maybe you hear stuff from your friends, or read things in books, magazines, or on the internet. Some of this information can be confusing, so it is really common for people to have lots of questions. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and I’ll do my best to answer them. You can always get a hold of me anonymously after the workshop through phone or email.

This workshop isn’t just for people who are having sex right now. It’s useful to think about sex and have information before you actually need to use it, or in case one of your friends wants to talk about it.

This can be an intense topic, so you may have strong reactions and people will have a lot of different opinions. How do you think we can make the space safe for everyone here?

Write the suggestions given on the board, including respect, listening to each other, keep what is said in the room……

Conclusion

Ask the participants if they have any questions. Answer any questions. Leave them with contact information in case they think of questions later and would like to contact you (you wrote this on the board at the beginning of the workshop).

Ask the participants to fill out an evaluation form to “let us know what you thought of the workshop”. Tell them to be honest, and that it’s okay if there were things they didn’t like. Tell them not to put their name on it.
