The project is developed according to the needs of involved partners and target groups youth workers are working with. “True or False” will gather youth workers from 9 different countries and introduce them a new, innovative non-formal methodology, which will help them to work on sex education topic with their target groups. The new non-formal methodology will give them the new prospective, not only about sex education in Europe, but also in different parts of the world, such as United States, Australia.

We think that “True or False” training course will be the start of nonformal methodology in sex education topic. It can a beginning of sex education topic in most of the participant countries. We truly believe that this project can be a life changing not only for participating youth workers but also for their target groups as well. Sex education is the right which should have any person regardless their place of residence, religious, social or economic background this project will be dedicated to educating youth workers and make them multipliers, who will later give the chance to
young people to use their right and improve their quality of life, have healthy sex, relationships and share their knowledge with their peers as well.
Methodology:
The Training Course will use non formal education. We try to facilitate the creative process through a wide spectrum of tools and activities that we will more precisely describe later in the official program of the training course. Through non formal learning methods and a variety of tools used during the TC participants will be able not only to learn by experience and reflect on their own interactions, but will also be encouraged to create ideas on how to become actively engaged in their society, share their experiences, present their ideas and give each other feedback.
The types of methods are taken from non formal education and we intend to make it as diverse as possible.
