This event will bring together policymakers, educators, activists, and advocates from diverse backgrounds, all committed to building safer, more inclusive communities.
This symposium will serve as a key platform for engaging in meaningful discussions, sharing innovative approaches, and formulating actionable strategies on the implementation of CSE and its essential role in preventing GBV. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from experts, collaborate with peers, and explore practical solutions for embedding CSE within European educational systems.

These workshops will also provide guidance on how to develop a unified manifesto to advocate for the widespread adoption of CSE across Europe.
