Head & Hands PrideHacks Project: Sense

The Sense Project supports Montreal youth’s healthy sexual development by giving them the information and tools to make empowering decisions about their own sexual health. Their team visits community centres, drop-ins, CEGEPS, universities and group homes to facilitate sexual health workshops for youth and youth workers. Their workshops, discussions and activities touch on many subjects: prevention of STIs and HIV/AIDS, sexual orientation and identities, sexual decision-making, consent, communication, beauty standards and sexual myths. Sense’s animators encourage critical thinking and safer-sex practices, as well as offering condoms, lube, and resources to youth. Like all the services offered by Head & Hands, the approach of the Sense Project in sex education is non-judgemental, holistic and inclusive.

This project aims to design and build a standalone website to serve as an online platform for teachers, students and their community to access resources and schedule workshops, as well as learn about the work that Sense does. The Sense Project is looking to create a website where they can upload and host workshops as well as offer a scheduling and calendar option to book educational sessions, talks and workshops to individuals and groups. The new site will also need to include a member signup feature where users can create user profiles.
