Allow educators to familiarise themselves with teaching communication, relationships and sexual health issues in the classroom in order to empower educators and student decision making.

Brief description of the issue

Since many topics related to sex education content can emerge from discussions in class, this program doesn’t have to be limited to Culture and citizenship in Québec, and can be combined with your subject’s goals. With the resurgence of misogynistic and masculinist ideas, thanks to the online influencers of the manosphere, a strong sex education is more needed than ever at every opportunity we have.

Keeping this in mind, the ACCM has put together many sexuality education learning activities that are rooted in different subjects such as English Language Arts, Culture and Citizenship in Québec, History and Civilization, Mathematics and Science and Technology. Quebec’s sexuality education program covers a lot of broad areas, and one of them is Identities and belonging. In line with our project Teaching Equality, we selected the activities targeted at challenging gender stereotypes, but you can find many more activities on the Sex Ed Toolkit’s website:
