A hybrid symposium bringing together educators, clinicians, researchers, policy makers, parents and young people to explore evidence-based comprehensive sexuality education, consent, sexual and reproductive health and lifelong wellbeing. Join us in person or online.
2026 Dec 11 - 12
Sex education shapes how young people understand their bodies, relationships, consent and health for life. This hybrid symposium brings together teachers, school nurses, clinicians, psychologists, researchers, public health leaders, policy makers, youth workers, parents and young people to share the latest evidence on comprehensive sexuality education (CSE).
Across two days of plenaries, workshops and panel discussions we will explore age-appropriate curricula, consent and healthy relationships, sexual and reproductive health services for adolescents, digital wellbeing and online safety, inclusive education, and how to engage parents and communities.
Join us in Athens or online to connect with peers, earn CPD credits and take home practical tools for your classroom, clinic or community.
