Let's Talk About Sex Ed: What We Think We Know
Most of us can probably think of something we wish we'd been taught about our bodies, reproductive health, or relationships...but weren't.
NYC does have required sex education standards, but they're largely focused on HIV and AIDS and leave out many of the reproductive health, relationships, and sexual health topics students need to navigate. And even when teachers are covering what's required, finding good, easy-to-use materials to teach it well can be a challenge.
Join Learn Mobo for an evening of conversation about what we're taught, what we're missing, and how we can make reproductive health education better for everyone. We'll explore the myths and misconceptions we grow up with, what the science actually says, and how better tools and resources can help bridge the gaps for both educators and students.
Whether you're a CUNY student trying to fill personal gaps, a teacher already working with NYC students, or a parent trying to arm themselves with better resources, come bring your questions, share your experiences, and learn with us.
We'll be joined by Dr. Jordan H. Machlin, PhD, reproductive scientist and science communicator, for an open Q&A about reproductive health, bodies, fertility, and the questions all people deserve clear answers to.
