Appendix 2
Sex Matters Programme
Gender & Being Yourself Love & Relationships

In this workshop students learn about love and relationships and how our ideas about
gender are related to both. . We give an introduction to gender, so the students understand
what gender means and are able to talk about gender in relation to love. We also discuss
what our environment (parents, friends, religion, school, media) is teaching and showing us
about love and relationships. In this workshop students learn how their environment shapes
the way they feel about love and the choices they make in romantic relationships (for
example expectations about flirting, marriage etc).
Learning goals:
● Learn about the concept of gender
● Learn how gender is related to love and relationships
● Learning how their environment thinks about love and relationships
● Learn how this can affect their own feelings and expectations in love and
relationships
● Learn that there are different ways to give substance to love and a romantic
relationship
Making students aware of their own ideas on love and relationships and where those ideas
come from and that this can (and may) differ from your classmates. We explain that
different perspectives can clash sometimes but that it is also ok that people differ in ideas
and convictions. During this workshop we also discuss what falling in love means and
students learn about attraction and freedom of choice. And that they are aware that falling
in love brings very different feelings and that this may differ for everyone.
Learning goals:
● Learn that there are different types of relationships and ideas about this.
● Learn that ideas about relationships can and may differ.
● Learn that you can fall in love with someone of the opposite and same sex,
someone with a different culture/religious background, someone with a physical
disability.
● Learn how to show your interest in someone and end a romance in a respectful
way.
● Learn to question the social norms that surround relationships.
