               When the Heart Says Yes – Sex Education in Schools



               The project "When the Heart Says Yes" aims to improve sex education in high schools. Current
               programs do not provide enough information about reproductive health and responsible sexual
               behaviour, which students have recognised as a serious problem in the community.
               The project's objective is to introduce sex education tailored to students in high schools to
               ensure that all students have access to accurate and safe information about sexuality.
               Students  involved  in  the  elective  course  "School  and  Community"  researched  community
               problems and decided to focus on the lack of sex education. They conducted a survey which
               revealed that most students get information about sexuality independently, often from unreliable
               sources, leading to misconceptions. The best approach was proposed to introduce sex education
               in schools. They collaborated with several organizations, organized workshops, and worked
               with students from the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences and the school doctor.
               The project was presented to the Student Council, Parent Council, and Teacher Council, as well
               as at the County and State project exhibitions. The final activity was presenting the project to
               the City Assembly and formally requesting the introduction of sex education in high schools in
               Zagreb.
