Introducing Christina and the Sense Project
"The Sense Project is a sexual health education project at Head & Hands. Its scope is to deliver workshops in schools and high schools in Montreal, and to also train volunteer at peer educators, so high school students, to be sexual health advocates in their school and in their communities. So that’s generally the scope of the Sense Project."
Jos: Facilitating Autonomy
"Yeah, so if it’s some kind of a goofy story, then that’s cool if that’s what they want to make, and that’s what they get at the end of it. If they want to make something that’s a bit glossy or say something that they could use as an educational tool in a classroom, then they can do that also, but always it being their choice of what they want to do and how they want to use it."
Jos: Youth Power
"I can go into a classroom and ask the teacher to leave and watch everybody just let their hair down and relax and talk about things in front of me."
Jos: Defining Youth
"If we can get in there and work with people, and give them skills and information and opportunities, I think that’s so exciting. And it’s way more exciting than working with forty-year-olds because they don’t get it. They might not get the same thing out of it."
Jos: Motivation and Recruiting
"People just love the idea of teaching good sex ed, like quality sex ed that has a bit of different spin to it than maybe what they got in high school because maybe they were queer themselves and they felt really left out by the sex ed they were being taught, or maybe they found that sex education was problematic in other ways, and so I find that a lot of people want to kind of give back to people who are bit younger than them."
