The problem that brought them to UPSHIFT: low level of sex education among teenagers.

The solution found at UPSHIFT: the team developed a training program “Teenagers to Teens” on sex education for young people aged 12-17 from Novodolynsky Lyceum. The schoolgirls established cooperation with the NGO “Girls”, which gladly agreed to participate in the team’s educational activities.

At the “Conscious” events, they talked about personal boundaries and the rules for protecting them in the real and virtual dimensions, the physiological characteristics of boys and girls, and the danger of AIDS and HIV. Thanks to the same age of the upshifters and the audience, the events managed to create a comfortable atmosphere and young people talked about the topic of sex education without shame.

The upshifters are now working on further improving the program and attracting new experts.
