In the Center for Power Analysis, our sexual education is based on building toolboxes with an understanding of power relations, boundaries, consent-based communication and knowledge of sexual health and well-being.

 

 

 

 

 

In collaboration with both the class and class teacher, we work to co-create new ways of talking about gender, sexuality, body, identity, class and togetherness. We offer presentations, workshops and many different forms of interactive teaching, such as performance theater and anonymous mailboxes, where all questions are welcome and where we invite the class to engage in dialogue.

 

 

 

 

 

We send a teacher to your class for four double lesson. Our course lasts a total of four weeks, and involves three lessons for students, as well as one lesson for both teachers and students, where we, together, can create a framework for safe teaching in the future. We are passionate about adding well-being to the schools' agenda, and we invite you to a conversation regarding how each class can be a part of preventing dissatisfaction, bullying and violence.

 

 

 

 

 

About the course

 

 

 

The learning process is structured around four double lessons over four weeks. Three of the lessons are at grade level, held once a week. The third lesson is addressed to the teachers, and serves as a summary and preparation for the final lesson. The aim is to create a common language to talk about gender, body and class.

 

 

 

 

 

First lesson: 'Gender'

 

 

 

 

 

A presentation about gender and sexuality, and what they mean in regards to the expectations we have for each other. The lesson goes into the topic of how norms regarding gender have evolved over time, breaking down limiting stereotypes. In an anonymous mailbox, the students can ask questions that relate to all parts of the teaching process. We will return to the questions continuously.

 

 

 

 

 

Second lesson: 'Body'

 

 

 

 

 

A presentation on the diversity of bodies: race/ethnicity, ability, myths about the masculine and the feminine body, different ways of having sex. The lesson talks about understanding the connection between body and mind. We prepare a workshop on boundaries, and an exercise with fictional letterbox stories.

 

 

 

 

 

Third lesson: 'Teacher's hour' 

 

 

 

 

 

A presentation on unthriving. With the teachers, we reflect upon how to become aware of signals of unthriving among students. We work with 'forum theatre', where we investigate how to spot and act on unthriving. The teachers make a manifesto, in which we map their needs and expectations for each other, and for the management.

 

 

 

 

 

Fourth lesson: 'Class'

 

 

 

 

 

A presentation on consent and responsibility for one's own, as well as the class's well-being. We discuss how to handle uneasiness, conflict, as well as who you can turn to, if you don't have the language to put complicated topics into words. We do an exercise with fictional letterbox stories and forum theatre, where the students have an opportunity to come up with ideas for how to handle difficult situations. The students write a manifesto regarding their expectations of each other, as well as how they want to ensure a safe space in the future.
