Our Approach and Curriculum

Our Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) workshops draw on the creative pedagogies of AGENDA, engaging young people through discursive and craft-based activities - in full compliance with statutory guidance on Relationships, Sex and Health Education.

Sessions can be tailored to schools’ specific needs and existing curriculum as part of a bespoke RSE programme, and can also be delivered through stand-alone workshops, carousels on drop-down days or whole-year assemblies.
