Rumours have been spread on the internet about existing awareness programmes, including the EdSens™ programme.
So here's some information for you. An article is also proposed by AFP.
Why offer emotional education sessions from nursery school onwards?
Emotional education enables children to learn to express their emotions and develop the psychosocial skills they need to grow up more serenely. It also reduces the risk of committing or becoming a victim of violence (sexual or otherwise).
Is this a programme offered by the French national education system?
No. This private programme follows the recommendations of national (Education Ministry) and international (WHO, UNICEF, etc.) authorities.
Do you work in schools?
No. We publish programmes and offer training to help professionals (in education, social work and health) prepare to work with children and teenagers.
Why is this programme available over the counter and not just to qualified people?
We have chosen to sell this programme freely so that parents can see what is on offer for their children.
Only people trained are able to work with children and teenagers on this subject. Reading these books alone does not in any way constitute training.
In this programme, are you inviting those working with children (nursery and elementary) to talk about homosexuality or transidentity, or to question their gender?
No.
In this programme, are you inviting those working with children (nursery and elementary) to talk about incest, paedophilia, rape or zoophilia?
No.
In this programme, do you encourage those working with children (nursery and elementary) to talk about masturbation, to encourage children to masturbate or to have sexual relations?
No.
In this programme, do you invite the speakers to undress a child in front of the class or encourage the children to do so?
No.
What content do you offer for nursery school children?
Simple activities on emotions, empathy, school and home rules.
To check for yourself, you can order the programme on Amazon.
