In April a sexual education seminar for all 3rd year students of the lower secondary school was held by a psychologist (Doctor Pasquarelli Maria Rita) and an obstetrician (Doctor Fiorella Tonelli) of the Local Health Authority (ASL: Azienda Sanitaria Locale) in order to create awareness on sexuality and against sexual abuse that people, especially SEN students, encounter in society.
In March and April 5th year students of the primary school in Nerola took part in 3 free meetings held by the obstetrician-Doctor Katia Pulcini and the psychologist Teresa Carletti concerning education about emotions and relationships in primary school. Parents took part in 2 seminars: a first meeting for the presentation of the project called “Vogliamoci bene. Educazione all’affettività e alla relazione nella scuola primaria” (Love each other) and a final meeting to discuss strenghts and weaknesses, ideas emerged during the course and possible developments and to help parents to face these kind of issues and to reflect on their children’s changes and the way they cope with them.
The 10-hour course focused on two main points:
- the self-perception. Physical and emotional changes. Cultural taboos and legislative incongruities;
- relationships (with family and peers). The observation of the biological, cultural, emotional and affective dimension.
The 3 meetings for the children focused on the issue of change and growth, gender differences (from an anatomical and a “role” point of view. Boys and girls’ stuff: male and female characteristics/ games/ activities/“things”, advertising/ social messages) and emotions-happiness, sadness, anger, fear, embarrassment, jealousy, sorrow/ displeasure (from the personal and the other’s point of view).
