The magazine contains informative texts, assignments, true stories, photos and illustrations that are geared to young people’s own lives. There are two versions of the magazine: one for the second year of general secondary education and another simplified one for pre-vocational secondary education (Dutch only). Both magazines refer regularly to the website: www.sense.info.

This website provides young people with accurate information about many aspects of relationships and sexuality. It also gives young people the opportunity to contact the Sense Infoline, where they can ask questions online, by phone or by email, or register for a Sense drop-in session in their area.

The DVD consists of six episodes which link up with the lessons. Each episode is about seven minutes long and is structured the same way. First, one or two young people talk about something. This is followed by a short scene, a two minute docudrama. After that, one or two young people talk again. Every episode ends with ‘What do you think?’ In this part, young people react to a question which corresponds with the lesson theme.

In the sections of the teacher’s guide where the lessons are discussed in detail you will find suggestions for talking about the episodes which the students have just watched.
