Gender fluid, non-binary, pansexuality, gender identity… are just some of the concepts that you have surely started to hear from the media or from your students. Don't get left behind! Updating is vital if you want your students to feel understood and guided. In this course, you will deepen your understanding of those and many other sexual concepts, as well as the differences between them. You will therefore acquire efficient tools to interact with the class while taking into consideration the whole sphere of sexuality. Participants to the course will alternate short theoretical sessions with experiential exercises (e.g., role-playing games) apt for inviting reflection and integration of novel acquisitions. Hence, the course will be dedicated not only to the explanation of sexuality but also to training the participants to manage different aspects of a school’s and student’s life that are interwoven with it. Accordingly, the course will prepare teachers to create a safe emotional environment that supports the students in the development and disclosure of their own sexuality. By the end of the course, you will be able to differentiate, understand, and manage the different concepts of sexuality in a very simple and easy way. You will be equally able to explain its concepts and transmit these capacities to your students. As a bonus, everything you learn in the course will also have a direct impact on your own sexuality, thanks to the self-reflection and deconstruction of some concepts such as gender or identity, allowing you to have a scientific and open vision about your own sexuality.
