S.L.A.M. Presents: Sex Ed in The City

Sex Ed in the City is not your typical professional development experience. It’s a community-centered learning journey designed to challenge, inspire, and empower sexuality educators to transform the way we approach sex education. This is for educators who are committed to social justice, inclusivity, and decolonizing education to ensure young people receive the comprehensive, empathetic, and relevant education they deserve.

At Sex Ed in the City, we create space for lived experience, critical thinking, and the deep connection that comes from a shared commitment to education as a tool for community care and collective liberation. Join us for a two-day experience where we’ll come together to reflect, learn, and build a movement for sex education that is truly transformative and rooted in intersectionality.
