Out-of-School Comprehensive Sexuality Education in Eastern Europe & Central Asia | WAS–UNFPA Webinar

Out-of-school comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is often the only source of accurate, rights-based information for young people excluded from formal education systems. In this webinar, hosted by the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), panelists explore the realities of delivering out-of-school CSE across Eastern Europe and Central Asia — a region shaped by conflict, displacement, restrictive environments, and deep inequalities. The discussion covers: • Regional policy developments and implementation challenges • Youth-led and community-based responses • Country-level experience from Georgia • Lessons from crisis contexts, including Ukraine • Gaps that continue to leave young people behind Moderator: Esther Corona-Vargas (Mexico), World Association for Sexual Health (WAS), Vice-President Speakers: Yana Panfilova (Ukraine), Eurasian Union of Adolescents and Youth (Teenergizer), CEO and Founder Andrey Poshtaruk (Türkiye), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Regional Advisor on HIV and Youth Elizabeth Schroeder (United States), World Association for Sexual Health (WAS), Consultant on Out-of-School CSE Natalia Zakareishvili (Georgia), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Programme Analyst This webinar is part of the WAS monthly series advancing sexual health, rights, justice, and pleasure for all.
