(English Version) MOOC Sexual health promotion with Certification

Sexuality is a fundamental aspect of human life.

Sexual health refers to your overall well-being—physical, emotional, mental, and social—in relation to your sexual life. It involves:

• A body that functions optimally during sexual activity.
• Enjoyable and fulfilling sexual experiences.
• The ability to express your gender identity and sexual orientation freely and without fear.
• Engaging in consensual relationships free from coercion, violence, or stigma.

Moreover, sexual health includes the prevention of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Sadly, access to quality education and care in this area remains limited for many people worldwide due to barriers such as cost and availability.

The MOOC ESMN UNESCO: "Promote Sexual Health", now enhanced with an official European Union certification, is designed to empower learners to:

• Take autonomous action in sexual health-related interventions.
• Develop communication strategies rooted in human rights principles.

This certification offers a unique opportunity to validate your expertise and join a network of professionals recognized across Europe.

This course aims to deepen understanding and promote action in critical areas of sexual health and human rights, including:

• Protecting young individuals from sexual abuse.
• Combating gender inequality, sexual exploitation, and harmful practices such as genital mutilation.
• Addressing stereotypes and reducing discrimination, including sexism and homophobia.

• Students and professionals in health-related fields.
• Anyone working in or concerned with sexual health issues.

With the addition of certification, this MOOC also benefits individuals seeking to enhance their credentials and contribute to creating inclusive and equitable societies.

Each module is structured for independent learning, averaging one hour per module, and includes:

• Engaging animated videos and expert interviews.
• Informative infographics and comics.
• Quick Q&A sessions for interactive learning.
• Evaluations, including pedagogical quizzes and final assessments for certification.

This MOOC adopts a mixed approach to learning:

• Participants engage in guided activities as well as collaborative group work.
• Social platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) facilitate interaction and material sharing among learners.
• A state-of-the-art platform ensures smooth access to resources, even for a large and diverse audience.

Guiding you throughout the course is Zeï, a gender-neutral mascot that makes complex topics approachable and engaging.
