SHA’s Study Abroad Program offers students the opportunity to conduct a comparative analysis of sexual attitudes and behaviors between a host country (Amsterdam, Prague, Reykjavik, or Barcelona) and the United States. Each location provides a unique cultural and legal landscape related to sexual health, LGBTQ+ issues, and sex work. Students will immerse themselves in local culture, gain global perspectives, and learn through lectures, workshops, and cultural excursions.

Students will stay in the city center of each host city to be close to most activities. SHA will send recommended hotel options near the meeting points after registration. However, students are free to book accommodations anywhere they prefer. SHA also facilitates room-sharing among students to reduce costs.

There are no pre-requisites for these courses. Students from various backgrounds—ranging from sex enthusiasts, therapists, educators, and medical practitioners to researchers and professors—are welcome to join. You do not need to be a SHA student or member to attend, but we are confident you will leave as a fan!

Absolutely! Each location offers distinct experiences, perspectives, and insights into global sexuality issues. Many students attend multiple programs and sometimes travel together between cities if schedules align.
