Three days of technical consultation or how many ideas can you fit in three days?
Between the 16th and 18th of February a technical consultation on healthy lifestyle education was held in Istanbul, organized by UNFPA Regional Office for Eastern Europe and Central Asia (UNFPA EECARO) in cooperation with UNESCO Moscow Office, WHO Regional Office for Europe (WHO Europe), UNICEF Regional Office for Central, Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (UNICEF RO CEE/CIS), the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA), and IPPF European Network (IPPF EN). I have participated in this consultation representing Society for Education on Sexuality and Education from Romania and I am gladly sharing with you this experience, as it was seen through my eyes, starting from the following question: how many ideas can you fit in three days?

Child marriage
Child marriage is defined by UNICEF as “a formal marriage or informal union before age 18 which can lead to a lifetime of disadvantage and deprivation. “
Child marriage is strongly related to gender inequality, but it affects both boys and girls. Child marriage happens today, even in Europe, and it is still a serious issue, according to Girls not Brides, over 700 million alive today were married as children.

This contest aims at involving the high school students in activities that will form and develop the civic attitude among them, as well as a democratic and responsible growth and the promotion of tolerance.
