Sexual Health Alliance’s abroad program previously included various European cities which students can pick and choose or attend all of them! We typically spend 4-5 days in each city. The program will be cutting edge, transformational and exceed your expectations of studying human sexuality in a different culture and country. If you’ve seen Dr. Justin Lehmiller before at our Sexceptional Weekends in person or online, you know this will be an incredible week learning from a Harvard Award Winning Educator and professor and his stellar guest speakers. This is an advanced program that includes elements of immersion, experiential and educational excursions.
Dr. Justin Lehmiller is a Research Fellow at The Kinsey Institute, founder of the blog Sex and Psychology, and author of the bestselling book Tell Me What You Want: The Science of Sexual Desire and How It Can Help You Improve Your Sex Life. He has over a decade of experience teaching sexuality courses in prestigious colleges and universities and has led 10+ Sexceptional Weekend Conferences for the Sexual Health Alliance. SHA’s experience with Dr. Justin Lehmiller in the Netherlands and Germany during our 2021 and 2023 Study Abroad Program was truly Sexceptional as he has extensive knowledge of country and culture, as well as many local connections.

Students are responsible for transportation, hotel accommodation and all meals:
Most cities have great public transportation so students may choose to stay a little further out in order to save money. We will also offer students the option of pairing up with other students to share rooms and save on hotel costs as the program gets closer. Students will be responsible for booking their own flight and hotel accommodations. When booking flights/hotels.
