Local projects can be expanded into larger projects with the support of swimsa, through their organizational and financial support.
These projects include developing amenities in developing countries, making surgical education accessible to all students, talking about sexism and discrimination in the medical field and much more. Internationally, projects can present themselves at the General Assemblies of the IFMSA and exchange ideas with projects from other countries. Achtung Liebe is a Swiss-wide non-profit organization of students who are committed to contemporary and age-appropriate sexuality education through self-guided school outreaches.
It was founded in and is currently represented in Basel, Bern and Zurich. The basic philosophy of Achtung Liebe is that less taboo and more openness in sex education lessons can have both a preventative and a promotional effect. For a responsible and self-confident approach to sexuality, it is important that all unanswered questions from young people can be clarified. The students therefore used interactive methods to familiarize pupils from primary 6 onwards with the topic of sexuality and love.
Due to their role as peers outside the school and the fact that no teachers are present during school visits, they create an informal atmosphere in which there is room for every question. The members are trained and supervised at national and international workshops, both by us and by experts in the fields of sex education, infectiology and gynecology. AGT is a voluntary smoking prevention project run by medical students for pupils in grades 7 to 9.
The concept is modeled on the German anti-tobacco education program and has also been running at schools in Bern since September We, a team of medical students from the University of Bern, have set ourselves the goal of educating young people about the dangers of smoking to enable them to make an independent decision.
