The IESF presents the educational series “Healthy sexuality, strong bonds”, aimed at families and education professionals.

The series will be held over three days, addressing one of the most relevant and urgent issues in education today: affective-sexual education.

In collaboration with leading academic experts, the conference will provide tools to face the challenges that arise in this area.

The first, “New challenges, new responses: on pornography addiction”, will address the consequences, prevention and intervention of new emerging addictions, such as pornography and virtual sex.

The second, “Does making love very often have side effects?” will offer a workshop to answer the most frequently asked questions by teenagers about sexuality . 

And the third will explore the influence of fashion, networks, music and literature on teenagers: “Growing up in a hypersexualised cultural environment.”
