Sex Education Panel | NI Science Festival

No awkward classroom, just a candid conversation with a group of professionals.

It is important to be able to open up about sex, for safety, for health and for mental well-being but within a school environment this can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. So we’ve decided to to gather a group of experts including author of A Curious History of Sex, Dr Kate Lister, Elaine Miller (AKA Gusset Grippers), a physiotherapist with a hobby of stand up comedy and The Rainbow Projects’s Sexual Health Development Officer, Leo Lardie, to chat about all things Sex Education.

Through a fun, conversational style discussion we want to dispel myths, give advice and create a safe environment to discuss and learn about safe and comfortable sex.

This event is hosted by NI Science Festival's own Morgyn Lutton.
