Sex education and sexual education - certificate course
Sex education and sexual education
Sexuality is an important cross-cutting issue in work with people, from childhood through adolescence to old age, for people with or without disabilities and for all genders. However, since in our post-modern, pluralistic societies it is no longer possible to assume generally accepted values and norms, this also results in considerable uncertainty in dealing with sexuality.
Generational and cultural differences between professionals in the field of social education or counseling and the addressees can also contribute to uncertainty. Dealing with sexuality therefore places special demands on pedagogical and counseling professionals.
Graduates of the university course acquire the necessary professional basics and methodological competences to develop and implement sexual education offers for different target groups in different settings. The educational goal is to become more articulate and self-confident in sexual matters and to be able to move confidently and behave appropriately in the professional field with regard to sexuality.
The university course is conducted in cooperation with the German Institute for Sexual Education (isp).
