Was lernt man in einer Sexualpädagogik-Ausbildung?

A sex education course provides theoretical knowledge and practical skills relating to sexuality, relationships and communication. The aim is to prepare specialists to provide professional, reflective and age-appropriate support in educational and counseling contexts. The following content is central to many courses:

• Human development and sexual health: basics of physical, psychological and social development in the course of life.
• Communication and conversation: techniques for sensitive conversations and an appreciative, open attitude.
• Sexual diversity and identity: Reflection on social norms, gender roles and different lifestyles.
• Pedagogical methods: Age-appropriate and target group-specific teaching of sex education content.
• Legal basics: Insight into the legal framework, e.g. data protection, duty of confidentiality and protection mandate.
• Ethics and attitude: Examining one's own values and ethical issues in dealing with proximity, power and boundaries.
• Social and cultural influences: Influence of culture, religion and media on sexuality development and educational work.
