The good sex project

This collection contains a series of short films that reanimate original research data. The films were made as part of a particiaptory youth arts project. The collection also contains short film interviews with experts in the field of sex education and youth sexual health service delivery. <p>This is a one year knowledge exchange project involving a collaboration between the University of Sussex and the young people’s sexual health charity Brook. The aim of the project is to explore new and creative ways of using research to inform evidence based practice in youth sexual health service delivery. The focus of the project will be on developing ‘sex-positive’ approaches to young people’s sexual health and on creating tools for practitioners to use to engage young people in work around ‘good sex’ and sexual pleasure.

The project will involve a team of researchers, practitioners, young people, a film-maker and a theatre director/writer who will use original research on young people’s sexual relationships and cultures to produce the following outputs:

Three short films targeting;

young people

sexual health practitioners/educators

general public

A training programme and resources for sexual health practitioners on engaging young people in work around sexual pleasure

An module on pleasure to be included in Brook’s online induction programme

A literature review of evidence for ‘sex-positive’ approaches to education and service development

A research blog documenting the knowledge exchange methods
