Description
The Lithuanian Life Skills Program has been implemented in Lithuanian schools since September 2023. This program is aimed at developing students'' abilities to recognize and overcome emerging life situations. While it appears highly important and beneficial in today''s context, there has been a widespread campaign of misinformation and resistance in the public sphere against the program''s discussed topics and organizations working in the field of sexuality. This project seeks to disseminate high-quality information aligned with human rights discourse, supported by scientific knowledge and practical stories. It is intended to reach rational parents who are concerned about children''s well-being and interested in human rights issues. This will be done by collecting and systematizing scientific data on the prevalence of topics related to sexuality among young people. Based on this material, relevant social media messages will be created.Additionally, stories from young people will be collected, revealing the lack of information and knowledge, and the voices of prominent opinion leaders will be utilized to broadcast these issues publicly. This effort aims to contribute to an understanding of the scale of the problem and the necessity of the program.
