SUMMARY:Interfaith Comprehensive Faith-Based Sexuality Education Partnerships: Our Whole Lives in the Global South
DESCRIPTION:Our Whole Lives Sexuality Education has been a partnership between the United Church of Christ and the Unitarian Universalist Association for over 25 years. Because faith components are available to integrate with sexuality education material\, Our Whole Lives offers a unique opportunity to bridge faith and sexuality education through dismantling shame and stigma and embracing relationship\, community\, and empowerment. \nOver the past eight years\, various international faith groups have requested training and materials in order to share the Our Whole Lives approach in their communities. Through creative relationships with the Church of Sweden\, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania\, INERELA (https://inerela.org)\, the United Church of Christ in the Philippines\, and the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Philippines\, Our Whole Lives trainers have provided several trainings and pilot projects that have enabled interfaith groups to engage in transformative experiential learning and to integrate the learning in a wide range of local and regional contexts. \nThis event will include panelists who have participated in some of these events who will share the international impact of these trainings and materials.
