The broadcasting program “Faraway words”, with Natasa Vissarionos and Giannis-Stelios Tzirvelakis, travels to Finland and specifically to Helsinki, where we will meet Margarita Gerouki, a Greek woman with a significant career in sex education. Ms. Gerouki worked as a teacher in Greece, but the questions she received from students about bodies that are changing, led her to Finland, where she got a second degree, a master’s degree and a doctorate specializing on sex education, and studied and compared the two countries on this sensitive issue.
The occasion for this meeting, on November 30, 2022, was the Greek educational program “I PLAY WITH FRIXOS: Relationships, Health and Sexuality Education”, which was awarded the Award for Excellence and Innovation in Sexuality Education by the World Association for Sexual Health in Mexico. Then, it was also published as a book by Marathia Publications, addressed to teachers and parents, because as she herself also said “we have to teach children to protect themselves”.
