Background
RFSU Uppsala has a long standing history of educating and spreading awareness about safe and consensual sex, sexuality, gender, relationships and reproductive rights amongst young people. In 2020, RFSU Uppsala started a student group as a new branch. The purpose of the student group is to strengthen the freedom and rights to reproductive and sexual health among students and young adults.
The student group
Do you like meeting new people and talking about sex and relationships? Or are you the type of person who prefers to work “behind the scenes” with strategy and planning? Do you want to engage in questions regarding sexual and reproductive health and rights? This is your chance!
As an active member of RFSU Student Uppsala, you will be invited to meet students in casual settings such as student bars and day time events, to talk about safe sex, condoms, sexually transmitted infections (STI’s), consent, and communication. In the group you will also be able to decide what types of events and projects you would like to arrange. This could for instance be pub quizzes, publishing articles in student magazines, lectures etc.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for young adults, preferably students, who want to join us in spreading knowledge and information to students in Uppsala. This is a great opportunity for students who don't speak Swedish to engage in these questions, as this project will reach out to all students in Uppsala, including international students. All meetings and planning are conducted in English
