A view from the field: the personal challenges and rewards of consulting worldwide on sexuality education

Article Abstract:

Sexuality education consultants working in foreign countries and different cultures will find opportunities to improve their skills, learn new values and gain new experiences. Learning opportunities include language selection, discussing values, interpreting cultural norms, knowing new education styles, understanding the relationship between sexuality and religion, and studying adolescent sexuality. On the other hand, assumptions that American consultants represent authority, advance knowledge, affluence and sexual openness may present difficulties in foreign assignments.

Hot debates and difficult labors: sexuality education in Queensland, Australia

Article Abstract:

The Family Planning Assn of Queensland, Australia, (FPQ) and the newly developed Human Relationships Education Program (HRE) aim to enhance sexuality awareness among children. HRE is focused on communication, values, self-concept, sexuality and relationships. Queensland's sex education advocates have long recognized the need to educate young people on the risks of sexually transmitted diseases and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. However, cultural and political repression hampered the proper implementation of sex education programs prior to HRE.
