Birds & Bees: Sex* Education in Youth Work
As you probably know, youth work has so many faces and so many realities. You might be involved in a local youth club that happens after school, or support a group of scouts, or lead theatre workshops on weekends. You might be a leader of youth camps in summer or someone who makes possible international volunteering camps or youth exchanges. In any of these places, young people bring their excitement and worries with them. They bring their sexual beings with them as well and you need to know how to support them in the best way possible. This does not mean though you need to become an expert. However, you need to know the basics and explore further if interested in some topic of Comprehensive Sex* Education. 
﻿
On this playlist, you find content on Comprehensive Sex* Education that is divided into eight activities according to the chapters we have developed.

Social Diversity
Social diversity encompasses various characteristics in societies, but prejudices often arise when individuals are grouped into categories, leading to inequality and division. Intersectionality highlights how multiple social identities intersect, shaping experiences of privilege and oppression, while efforts to challenge harmful masculinities and promote gender equality are crucial for addressing violence against women and fostering a more inclusive society.
Social diversity refers to different characteristics seen in a particular society with respect to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, socioeconomic status, physical ability, level of education, occupation, nationality and immigration status, place of residence, language, cultural background, and so on.
People in diverse societies tolerate differences by generalising individuals into groups, which creates a culture of prejudice and discrimination. In such cases, social diversity becomes negative and this results into social differences (distinctions and discriminations that occur between or even within different social groups), inequality (unequal opportunities and rewards for different social positions) and division (segregation among the members of a society that are based on inborn or artificially crafted differences) (Shannon 2018).
Social diversity should be considered normal and healthy because human societies are composed of individuals with unique characteristics, backgrounds, experiences, and identities. It is important to recognize the potential of social diversity to enrich societies and promote social justice, equality, and inclusion. Social inclusion aims to create a society for all, a society in which no one is left behind and no one is invisible, a society that guarantees human rights and promotes justice for all, increasing the quality of life of citizens and improving individual well-being (Abbott, Wallace & Sapsford, 2017).
