Our Testimonials

I think that it’s great that we are being educated in such a clear and honest way. It’s been shown frequently around the world that abstinence education simply doesn’t work and can actually promote the wrong information, leading to mistakes and problems that can be easily avoided if [we are] taught the correct information. I really appreciate the work that has been put into this workshop and I hope that it continues for years to come.

I really liked how the questions and polls were anonymous I don't think anyone would have said anything if they weren't.

I really enjoyed the experience and the participation was brilliant, i loved how we could follow the presentation with our phones and we had to pick answers etc

Brilliant presentation, very interactive not a moment of dullness, great to have a panel of different speakers, none were boring to listen to but to switch it up is good. We were all kept involved very well and it was a brilliant informative talk.

I liked how the questions were answered and how open the people who presented it
