Week6 - educational videos

On the occasion of Week6, the Gender Equality Academy has created educational video segments in collaboration with UngRÚV that discuss sex and gender awareness of young people from various perspectives. The videos are published on the UngRÚV website and here on the Gender Equality Academy's site. The videos can be used, for example, as icebreakers in lessons.

Week6 2024 - Relationships and communication

In the 2024 Week6 videos, we meet couples who tell us about their relationships.

Relationships come in many forms: friendships, family relationships, and more. Romantic relationships also vary. People choose to enter committed relationships at different times in life. There's no rush.

Both partners are responsible for treating each other well, showing respect, love, friendship, warmth and trust. Both must also be present and able to communicate in a healthy way.

 

How did you know you had become a couple?

What do you find most fun to do together?

How do you resolve disagreements?

What is the key to a healthy relationship?
