From the experiences of normal teenagers

We use to read about relationships of stars in all sorts of magazines. A lot of websites offer precious advice for troubled couples. With the "Cupid's Recipes" brochure we want to write something else; not "true stories", not a list a useful pieces of advice from a psychologist. We want to collect the experiences of your generation, good and bad.

The brochure will be structured as follows:

• Appetizers

Experiences related to the beginning of a relationship: how we met, unexpected places where one can fall in love, good and bad first date stories.

• Main course

Good and bad relationship stories, what we do not to get bored, how we argue, how me make up. Do we learn from mistakes? What pressures are girls subject to? How about boys?

• Sweet and bitter desert

When a relationship gets serious... or when it ends. Is there such thing as a good end?

Send us the story of an event that happened to you, a conclusion or just some simple thoughts related to any of the above-mentioned "chapters" at the address: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Deadline: December 30 2009.

The brochure will be launched at the Gender Equality Festival organised by the Association for Gender Freedom and Equality - A.L.E.G. in February 2010 around Valentine's Day. The Gender Equality Festival is a campaign addressed to young people to prevent couple violence and fight gender stereotypes.

A.L.E.G. is a non-governmental organization from Sibiu which provides counselling and support to victims of couple violence and carries out information and awareness raising activities on gender equality.
