▶Objectives
The project aimed to positively influence inclusive sexual and emotional education at national and European level, fostering the well-being of young people from diverse backgrounds, including those with disabilities, LGBTQ+ youth, rural residents, and second-generation immigrants. We sought to strengthen the skills, competences, and capacities of youth workers and organisations to deliver high-quality, inclusive educational activities. By creating a network of youth workers, educators, psychologists, and other experts, we aimed to share perspectives and resources, ensuring a multidisciplinary approach. The project set out to develop an innovative, practical training programme to help organisations plan, implement, and evaluate effective education initiatives. We also wanted to produce engaging digital educational content—videos, podcasts, infographics, quizzes —tailored to young people’s needs. Another key goal was to empower young people to act as peer promoters, raising awareness about the importance of sexual and emotional education and inspiring them to contribute actively at local, national, and European levels.
