„Rozmowa o seksie? Na co to komu?” – dyskusja podczas Festiwalu Ravekjavik Zen

A discussion "Talking about sex? Who needs it?", which will concern positive sexuality – what it is and how knowledge about it should be conveyed will take place on Saturday (14 June) at 4:00 p.m. during the Ravekjavik Zen Festival of Electronic Music and Visual Arts (Niciarniana 52). The interlocutors will also look at the concept of "norm" and talk about practices that can still be considered non-standard. The discussion will be attended by our expert Dr Justyna Ratkowska-Pasikowska (Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Lodz). Admission to the day part of the festival is free, without tickets.

The University of Lodz has been a partner of the Ravekjavik festival for the third time. We are joining forces again to provide you with commentary on issues worth talking about. In this year's edition, in addition to the discussion, we have prepared a film on the revitalization of post-factory spaces in Lodz, which will have its premiere during Ravekjavik.

  • Why is setting boundaries in intimate relationships important and how to set them?

  • Where can you get knowledge about sexuality?

  • How to talk about sex without feeling ashamed?

  • How to safely discover your sexuality?
