Empowering Kids with Comprehensive Sex Education

This year, we’re thrilled to share that preparations for our 2025 International Forum on Comprehensive Sexuality Education are in full swing, and registration is officially open! You can now join us through this link: https://tgeea.org.tw/event/41880/

Over the past few months, TGEEA haveve continued working closely with young educators and advocates who are passionate about making sexuality education more inclusive and approachable. Through our advocacy material design workshops, participants have co-created creative teaching tools that help open up conversations about consent, pleasure, and relationships.

Now, all of this work is leading up to the 2025 online International Forum on Nov 29. The forum will bring together speakers from Sweden, South Korea, Canada, and Taiwan, each contributing unique perspectives on what it means to build sexuality education that is truly inclusive and pleasure-based.

From Hans Olsson of Sweden’s RFSU, who will share insights on the creation of Sex on the Map and pleasure-based education, to Tari, Youngjung Na from Korea’s SHARE, who explores how pleasure, care, and solidarity can expand sexuality education beyond borders. Dr. Alan Martino from the University of Calgary will invite us to reimagine desire through disability and body diversity, while Dr. Chia-Ling Yang from National Kaohsiung Normal University will reflect on Taiwan’s local experiences through Shall We Swim and the CSE Handbook for Middle School Teachers.

Each story and voice represents a step toward a world where every young person can grow up with knowledge, confidence, and joy in being themselves.

Thank you for making this journey possible. Your support continues to inspire young educators and advocates across borders to create change through compassion and courage.

• Embracing Sexual Pleasure: CSE International Online Forum 2025

Last year, we launched a program to support young educators and advocates, who care about gender equality and inclusive sex education. Through hands-on workshops, we helped them build confidence and skills to talk about bodies, feelings, and relationships in ways that are age-appropriate and culturally meaningful.

The good news is—we’re continuing this work this year! Starting in July, we’ll begin a new round of Advocacy Material Design Workshops, where participants will co-create practical and engaging teaching materials. These resources are designed to be used in classrooms, community events, or even family conversations. We’re also collaborating with international partners like SIECUS, AMAZE, Rutgers, and RFSU to enrich the content and tailor it to Taiwan’s context.

We’re also excited to share that we’re getting ready for our next international online forum on comprehensive sexuality education, happening on November 29, 2025! This forum will be a special moment for young educators and advocates to present the materials they’ve been working on. We’ll also be joined by guest speakers from around the world, coming together to exchange ideas and learn from one another.
