SUMMARY:Love\, Sex and Relationships (Intergenerational Discussion)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nWe all desire to love and be loved. For romantic relationships\, sex forms a core part of expressing this emotion. While love is spoken about openly and with cheerful longing\, a culture of shame\, misplaced ideals of purity and religious adherence have clouded the conversation around healthy sexual desires and interactions. The result? Abuse\, bodily harm and even death. This panel will examine different attitudes towards love and sex\, and explore how ‘healthy relationships’ might look. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Wealth and Success (Intergenerational Discussion)
