TRAINERS’ TRAINING IN SPRING 2013!!
ars erotica foundation
For Sexual Education and for the Acceptance of Sexual Cultures
SEXUALITY IS EVERYWHERE, SEXUALITY IS LIFE – 
COMMUNICATING SKILLS AND METHODS IN ADULT TRAINING SITUATIONS
TRAINERS’ TRAINING 17th March- 21st March 2013 BUDAPEST
All over Europe body, fitness and holistic approaches are common in many adult trainings focusing on personality development or different body practices (dance, theatre, yoga etc..). Nevertheless, this awareness in its cultural or sexual aspects is not reflected in the professional level of adult trainers. There are very few trainers’ trainings offering an insight into the deep dimensions of body, gender and sexuality. There are many training and counselling situations (such as health education, family counselling, teachers training, etc.) where sexuality can appear as a question, a problem or – more often – lies behind conflicts, interpersonal tensions.
How does it work to communicate intimate topics in a training/counselling situation? What does it take to face oneself own sexuality as a professional? How can we identify and handle cultural differences behind sexuality? These and similar questions will be answered at the training.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Teachers involved in adult education
Teacher trainers
Careers officers, educational guides and counsellors
Members of students/teachers councils
Sex-educators, health educators, family counsellors
Social workers
OBJECTIVES
