    • Sexuality and Sexual behaviour

      A very narrow view of sexuality has been limited to sexual relationships and reproduction among people. It is important to re-examine this concept in the light of working with adolescents or any group of children at any stage of development. Sexuality is not synonymous with sex; rather it is part of a person’s entire life from birth to death. It does not only entail genital and reproductive processes but encompasses gender roles, social roles, self-esteem, feelings and relationships. Sexuality is how one feels about him/herself as being a male or female, how one consequently relates to members of the same and opposite sex, and how one feels about her/himself as a totals person.

      Topics

      Ground rules
      • People do not adhere to only one type of sexual behaviour, tailoring of behaviour-change interventions to individual needs and circumstances is essential.
      • A range of strategies that respect diversity and preserve choice is needed.

  • Facilitator resources

    • This guide is grounded in the original CSE Guidance (UNESCO, 2018) and is informed by literature review of several other resources that have proved valuable in delivering CSE content to adolescents globally. The overall goal articulated in this manual is to create a positive and comprehensive educational programme that helps students gain knowledge, values and skills to lead sexually healthy and responsible lives.

    • This documents will be used to inform good practice and support CSE trainers and facilitators in conducting trainings for adolescents and young people on Compressive Sexuality Education. Each topic has a complete lesson plan, selected training methodologies and evaluation methods. Trainers and facilitators will be able to adopt suggested methodologies to their context and national regulations around CSE.
