Emilie is an innovative educator with a decade-long dedication to empowering young minds. As a co-founder of Kimia-Critical Pedagogies, she has pioneered transformative educational practices that challenge traditional norms. Emilie holds a master's degree in Gender and Sexuality Studies from Lund University, Sweden, this has helped her to bring a deep understanding of the complexities and possibilities surrounding these topics. Her expertise extends beyond youth education, encompassing methodologies for both adult and youth sex education. Emilie's intellectual curiosity knows no bounds, as she delves into philosophy to enrich her pedagogical approach. With a unique passion for integrating the body and situated knowledge into her practices, she seeks to revolutionize how we learn about sexuality, embracing pleasure as a central aspect. When not shaping young minds, Emilie can be found enjoying her love for horseback riding, a pursuit that embodies her spirit of freedom and exploration.
Emilie plans to train feminists organizations in the Galapagos Islands in the pleasure-based approach.
The situation of the islands in terms of access to gender and sex-ed education is very secluded and isolated. Emilie intends to develop contextualized material to train leaders that are already starting the work in Galapagos but that are in need of materials, tools and knowledge for a non-traditional sex-ed. Our plan is to create tool kits for each collective that help them implement a sex-ed program for children, teens and teachers. Then, in the course of a week, she intends to conduct workshops to train these new sex-ed promoters, these workshops will also help us to enrich and improve the toolkits. After the in-person training is done we will do an online tracking of their work and provide help and support to the group.
