Sex Education – Easier Than Ever to Integrate into the Classroom with KNOWBODY and the Univention ID Broker

We are pleased to announce the latest addition to the Univention ID Broker.
KNOWBODY, a young and innovative company, now makes sexual education more
interactive and personal than ever before. Using videos, short games, 3D
animations and even voice messages, students are introduced to the topic in a
unique way. Read on to learn more about the exciting possibilities of this app
from Carolin Strehmel.

Univention ID Broker and KNOWBODY

The Univention ID Broker allows you to quickly and easily introduce the app
KNOWBODY and many other educational offerings to your schools through a
standardized interface. As a software-as-a-service offering it combines single
sign-on and access to the learning context. With their UCS@school login,
students and teachers have direct access to educational offerings that can
provide individualized content through the learning context – all
pseudonymously and with data minimization in mind.

With the ID Broker, we are able to make our application available to users
in an easy way and with little effort. For example, there is no need to
register and set the twentieth password. – Carolin Strehmel, Co-Founder and
Developer of KNOWBODY

Getting to Know Yourself and Dealing with Boundaries

KNOWBODY is a sex education app for 6th graders and up. It includes
interactive learning units about relationships, sexuality, gender, body and
empowerment. These fit exactly into a school lesson and are designed to help
teachers cover the topics anchored in the curriculum in a school semester.

As the name suggests, young people should be empowered to become a KNOWBODY
themselves: Because in order to feel safe and comfortable in one's own body or
set boundaries for others, it is a prerequisite to know and understand it.

Sexual education is more holistic in the curricula than it is currently
practiced in most schools. We surveyed students and 72 percent said they had
never talked about sexuality in the media. 68 percent had also never talked
about sexual violence and consent. According to our survey of 490 teachers
(KNOWBODY, 2022), this is mainly due to a lack of time.

Simplifying Lesson Design and Planning

KNOWBODY is designed to help spread sexual education across more subjects and
grades. By bundling the topics in one place and greatly facilitating lesson
design and preparation, cross-curricular teaching becomes easier. For example,
learning units on relationships, gender, or empowerment could also be covered
in religion, philosophy, or politics.

We provide teachers with a pedagogical manual. In this manual you can find a
short description of the tasks, a timetable and further help to prepare for
the lesson. During the lesson itself, students and teachers have the same
version of the app on their tablet or cell phone, available for iOS, iPadOS
and Android.

The learning units follow a similar pattern but do not have to be covered in
any particular order. Throughout the units, you will always find so-called
"task cards", that provide some input and a definition of the task. They also
tell you whether you are working alone, in pairs, or in a small group. Quite
often we use the think-pair-share method, which allows students to talk to
each other about what they have learned. That is, of course, if they want to.
