1. Background information

One of our key components in our mission is to strengthen professionals in empowering young people through education, to make sexual and reproductive choices, respecting the rights of others in supportive societies. Amongst these young people are the children aged 4 to 6, known as the phase of ‘golden age’, a crucial development period to determine the child’s potential in upcoming years. In 2008, Rutgers WPF Indonesia launched a program to empower children aged 4 to 6 through the involvement of teachers and parents: the You & Me program. The program aimed to equip young children with positive self-esteem and social skills regarding reproductive health and sexuality. Through active learning and the teacher’s role as facilitator, children learn about themselves and their environment, respect diversity, gender awareness, and protect themselves from sexual violence. To date, the program keep evolving on local and national level. In Semarang, Surabaya, and Balikpapan, 31 schools with 117 teachers have implement the program. Within nine years, more than 15.000 young children and their parents have gained the benefits from the You & Me program.

Rutgers WPF Indonesia is committed to support the sustainability of You & Me program. Therefore since February 2018, our team has been intensively collaborating with expert of early childhood education from UPI and expert of family learning process, an organization named Leader Lab, to revise and innovate the potential held by You & Me program. The process has delivered revised modules for teacher and parent, also several learning toolkits to help teachers and parents implement the modules with engaging and fun activities for the children. The toolkit consisted of flashcards, puzzles, giant board game mat, family dolls with complete reproduction organs, and four story books. All of those toolkits need to be wrapped in illustrations and graphic design tailored to the characteristic and needs of children aged 4 to 6 years old, also aligned with the revised modules, values, and principles that are held by You & Me program.
