Symposium
Online sexual education: International experiences and expectations

This symposium was presented at the 20th World Congress for Sexual Health in Glasgow
on June 14, 2011. It was chaired by Prof. Erwin J. Haeberle. The other participants were Prof. Man Lun Ng, Hong Kong, Prof. Antonio Palha, Porto, and Prof. Aram Hakobyan, Yerevan.

After an online introduction by Prof. Haeberle to the “open access” curriculum in sexual health on our Archive web site, the other three speakers offered their own contributions:

1.    In a PowerPoint presentation Prof. Ng explained the use of our curriculum with Chinese students. They have a complete Chinese translation of all six courses available to them (in both simplified and traditional script). For this presentation, click here.

2.    This was followed by a PowerPoint presentation by Prof. Palha, who showed the use of our curriculum with Portuguese speaking students who, so far, have only three of the six courses available in their language. At the same time, he announced that, because of the enormous demand, the remaining three course will also be translated in the near future. For this presentation, click here.

3.    Finally, a PowerPoint presentation by Prof. Hakobyan described the history of sexual education in Armenia and emphasized the need for a translation of our curriculum into Armenian. He then announced his intention to produce this translation at his university. For this presentation, click here.
