Paa ng Paru-paro

Sverige ska byta namn på sin sexualundervisningskurs till sexualitet, samtycke och relationer vilket gör mig väldigt stolt och glad! Nivån är B1+ 

Jag diskuterar lite om samtycke. Uppdatering om mitt eget mående och att det är viktigt att prata om hur man mår för att kunna förändra det och inte vara fast i sitt eget huvud. : )

Hoppas vi ses på min nya lektionstyp "djupare diskussion" Jag är redo och öppen att diskutera med er!

Ha det bra!
