Isabel Boschi, Buenos Aires (Argentine):Human Rights and Sexual Education in "Platerillo": An Argentine Liberation ExperienceGender prejudices and sexual stereotypes go together in sexual education in Argentine schools.- A very uncommon experience in "Platerillo", an unusual kindergarten and primary school in Buenos Aires, shows how children develop from spontaneous sexual plays in kindergarten till responsible reflexive conversation in primary school. In the 7th level they talk about human rights, gays and lesbians, racism, prejudices against people with Down Syndrome, the human being and its environment, and the right to have a place in the world. - This experience shows that nakedness, sexual plays in childhood, sexual education and conversations do not produce criminals, but free, open-minded, democratic persons. (A 20 minutes video, accompanied by some reflections of the author.)
