A educação sexual tem assumido nas últimas
décadas uma importância acrescida, pela tomada de
consciência de que é parte integrante do normal
desenvolvimento dos jovens adolescentes. As várias
instituições envolvidas, famílias, escolas e serviços de saúde,
têm despertado para a necessidade de garantir que os jovens
adquiram os conhecimentos adequados à adoção de
comportamentos saudáveis e seguros.
Muitas experiências e programas de educação têm
sido desenvolvidos para os adolescentes, mas persistem as
elevadas taxas de gravidez na adolescência e de infeções
sexualmente transmissíveis.
Sendo inquestionável o poder da Internet na partilha
e divulgação de informação, e a apetência dos jovens por esta
plataforma de informação, o projeto “CLICA JÁ” usa esta
ferramenta para fornecer informação sobre as várias
dimensões da sexualidade aos estudantes, aumentando o nível
dos seus conhecimentos nesta matéria para que possam
modificar as suas atitudes, com vista à adoção de
comportamentos seguros.
In recent decades, sex education has increased in importance as people have realized that it is a significant part of normal development of young adolescents. The various institutions involved, such as the family, schools and health services, have realized the necessity to ensure that young people acquire the knowledge for the adoption of healthy and safe behaviors. Many experiences and education programs have been made and developed for adolescents, but there are still high rates of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. Knowing the power of the internet in sharing and spreading information and the interest of young people regarding this tool, the project “CLICA JÁ” uses this resource to provide students with information on different issues of sexuality, thereby increasing their knowledge in this area and making them able to change their attitudes towards the adoption of safe behaviors.
