Speak up: Sexually Smarter - A condom-making workshop
In collaboration with Sagami Hong Kong, SCOME and SCORA have arranged a series of four condom-making workshops. The workshops aim to educate medical students on sexual safety and sexually transmitted diseases. Our tutors from Sagami cover various topics, such as the history, the production process, and the proper usage of condoms. The engaging and fun activities would encourage students to be mindful about safe sex and protection.
