PRESS RELEASE: Us together is launching Sound sex education, a scientifically grounded, age-appropriate curriculum designed to strengthen young people’s health, self-image and self-esteem.
Through dialogue and collaboration, parents and teachers can address school-related issues, build a safe learning environment, strengthen children’s self-esteem and, together, promote maturity, wellbeing and sound values.
Did you know that vitamin D affects everything from the skeleton to the immune system? The body can produce the vitamin itself when the sun is shining, but during the darker months of the year sunlight is rarely sufficient. At that point, a vitamin D supplement may be exactly what the body needs.
Us together is a non-profit, nationwide and independent network that promotes children’s safety and wellbeing through collaboration between home and school. We foster community, engagement, and confidence in the future through adult education and local initiatives.
A system of ideas based on the notion that children are sexual beings born with sexual needs is spreading all over the world. It is called Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). Euphemistic language conceals how parental responsibility is watered down and how societal norms that protected children are eliminated.
Unbeknownst to the public, a new form of sex education is being introduced in elementary and middle schools. It assumes that children are sexual beings and that they must therefore be prepared from birth to reach their full sexual potential. The Swedish National Agency for Education wants to encourage children to become curious about and explore their sexuality and identity.
Here you will find exercises for the Reaching others material. Feel free to practice together with others. It is in the dynamic with others that we can be challenged and quickly improve. It is also possible to practice by yourself. With minor adjustments, you can do most of the exercises on your own.
In the fourth part, we explore what makes conversations engaging and thought-provoking. When information is presented in a story, it reaches us deeply. Metaphors can provide instinctive understanding. With questions, we can gently guide others’ attention to a place where insight is possible.
The third part describes how we interpret reality with an internal map. If we do not understand each other's maps, we talk past each other and have difficulty reaching others. Mass influence can overcome a person's free will and judgment. When we understand how propaganda is structured, we can more easily detect when it is being used.
