gen-z lab

Creating non judgement and open spaces for young people to safely explore sexual health and relationships builds confidence and sets health habits for adulthood.

​

​​​

A key part of our service provision to end health inequity includes youth programmes for teenagers and young adults from Global Majority backgrounds. Acknowledging the fast-paced changes, opportunities and threats in the digital spaces they occupy, our Gen-Z Lab focus on the intersections between gender, sexuality, race, faith, and technology.

​

We are working with youth groups based in South London to have focused discussions on sexual and mental health-related topics affecting them. Our workshops span 6 weeks with weekly sessions that are underpinned by themes of gender-based violence, norms and stereotypes, laws and social attitudes yet leave space for young people to discuss the specific issues affecting them in their context.

 

Our workshops have students create and deliver presentations on the topics they have explored, contribute to positive social activism through a method of their choice (event, social media campaign, assembly) and therefore develop their work-experience and professional skills through the process. ​​​
