The Project:
The goal of our project is to partner with youth, parents and
professionals/organizations in meaningful engagement, support and exchange of
healthy sexuality models which address sexual exploitation and victimization
in an Atlantic conference.
The objectives of our project are to:
1. encourage the broad sectors governing healthy sexuality for youth to
partner in planning, hosting and facilitating an Atlantic conference,
2. provide opportunities for youth and partners to enhance their capacity,
skills, training and knowledge of youth sexual health, effective sexual health
education, positive social- environmental influences and
non-exploitative/violence strategies,
3. engage stakeholders including policy makers to deliberate research findings
and public policy guidelines from the region, and
4. host an Atlantic conference, utilizing youth-led, youth-professional
mentorship models, which will support communities to embrace sexually
non-exploitative values.
The three key components of this work will be:
- partnership development through youth-led, youth-professional mentorship strategies,
- knowledge and skill capacity development for youth, parents, and professionals, and
- public policy engagement in youth sexual health, particularly addressing violence and exploitation.
