I notice that Ed has suggested this as an area of work. It's a sensible suggestion and I'm developing a project at the moment around digital literacy, online research skills and other related topics.

Andreas' proposal is already covered and budgeted in planned activity under [[expert outreach]]. We are working with a range of scientific and scholarly bodies to get improvements to Wikipedia in their area, and we have a budget and support for volunteers who want to meet with partners or to arrange training events or editathons, but nothing so far that specifically addresses sex education. Rather than trying to put sex ed into the activity plan, Andreas, your effort would be better spent finding a contact in a relevant partner body, having a meeting and getting something going. We can't put each individual project into an activity plan, otherwise we'd have a "cancer pages improvement" project, a "Parkinson's pages improvement" project and so on.

Sex-ed improvement project
Andreas' proposal is already covered and budgeted in planned activity under expert outreach. We are working with a range of scientific and scholarly bodies to get improvements to Wikipedia in their area, and we have a budget and support for volunteers who want to meet with partners or to arrange training events or editathons, but nothing so far that specifically addresses sex education. Rather than trying to put sex ed into the activity plan, Andreas, your effort would be better spent finding a contact in a relevant partner body, having a meeting and getting something going. We can't put each individual project into an activity plan, otherwise we'd have a "cancer pages improvement" project, a "Parkinson's pages improvement" project and so on.
