Teaching them young
Format: Online Audience: KS4 Description: Three British and two Dutch teens join a primary school class of six year olds in their relationships and sexuality class. During the class discussion, they talk about who’s been in love before, and what that feels like, with one student saying it’s like “tickles in your tummy”. The children discuss same-sex relationships, and that it is completely normal for a boy to love a boy, and a girl to love another girl, with one child identifying these women as lesbians. The teacher Paula explains when you start talking about these subjects at such a young age, it becomes less awkward to discuss it as time goes on. Paula highlights how children often give the “perfect answers” to these questions and that it’s important to let them have the input in these classes. This short film is from the BBC series, Mimi on a Mission: Sex Ed. For further episodes please visit the BBC iPlayer. |
Teaching Relationships and Sex Education Positively
Format: Online Audience: KS4 Description: Presenter and Youtuber Mimi Missfit and a group of seven British teens go to a 'Safe Sex' class at a secondary school in Holland. The class is taught by Ms Blokdijk, who teaches these sex education classes regularly. She admits when she was a trainee she found it a little awkward, but now it’s a lot easier. She asks some questions from the textbook Long Live Love, teaches the teens about safe sex practices, and demonstrates how to put a condom on a fake plastic penis model, to promote safe sex and prevention of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Ms Blokdijk then reveals she has the same models for all the teens to try in groups, which creates apprehension on the faces of some of the teens. They have a go putting the condoms on the model too. The teens note the positive, relaxed atmosphere Ms Blokdijk creates in the classroom and that she is an approachable person. Afterwards, Garthia and Joe reflect on the class and compare it to how different it is to more awkward-feeling, rushed sex education classes at home they have experienced. Garthia found the lesson “weird” because she’d never had anything like it in London. Ms Blokdijk highlights that there is not a perfect way to teach these subjects, but suggests that the goal is to simply give the children the information they need and answer their questions. The key is that the classes offer information to teens which they can take and use to inform their decisions outside the classroom. This short film is from the BBC series, Mimi on a Mission: Sex Ed.

Inclusion: LGBT
Teaching inclusivity at school
Format: Online Audience: KS4 Descrition: Presenter and YouTuber Mimi Missfit takes a group of seven British teens to Holland to look at how to make schools feel inclusive and welcoming for people of all sexualities. The acronym LGBTQ+ is introduced (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and others). Ms Bakker is the leader of her school's branch of the nationwide Gender Sexuality Alliance and has a vision of inclusive schools, where it doesn’t matter what sexuality you are, everyone is accepted. In the Netherlands there is a “National Coming Out Day”, and the teens attend a party to celebrate this at the school. They all get dressed up for the occasion in the colours of the pride flag and dance together and with a drag queen. Alys identifies herself as pansexual, and gives the definition. Munashe is not so keen on the National Coming Out Day party, and explains that at first he found the party awkward and worried that he was homophobic, but was reassured by his teachers that it is okay for him not to like it. Drawing on his experience as a BAME person, Munashe explains that he understands how you need to give people the same respect you expect, regardless of your ethnicity or sexuality. Alys is inspired by their trip to Holland and sets up a monthly LGBT club “Unity” at her own school in the UK shortly after her return. She explains her belief that it’s teachers' responsibility to protect their students and that education will stop ignorance. Munashe says going to Holland made him more open-minded as a heterosexual male. This short film is from the BBC series, Mimi on a Mission: Sex Ed. For further episodes please visit the BBC iPlayer. |
