Friends & Lovers brings you into conversation about love and body
Friends & Lovers is a game method that makes it easier to communicate with –among others- students, clients and course members about the themes: the Body, Friendship, Partners, Sexuality and Assertiveness.

The method includes 135 cards with pictures and questions, an additional Questions Card and an Action card (download). Every theme is elaborated into 27 cards with drawn situations in which one or more people are involved.

Get started
- Start a conversation about the themes.
- Investigate which knowledge is present and offer information.
- Make experiences and feelings discussable.
- Discover problematic issues and discuss dilemmas.
- Take action if needed.

Developed in cooperation with professionals and experts
Friends & Lovers has been developed by Bureau Edubooks & Training. Sixty professionals in healthcare provided the topics. They were in need of image material to make their topics discussable. Content experts in the field of relationships and sexuality offered their feedback.

The method has been extensively tested in practice in the healthcare sector and practical education, and by interest groups.

Simple method
Choose a way to select the game cards from the Work guide. The pictures evoke associations with the participants, which leads to a conversation. The questions help the supervisor to deepen the conversation. The Additional Questions Guide guides the methodical approach. With the Action card, possible actions are documented.
