Eligible students will be required to take an international fieldtrip to the partner and will work collaboratively with students from all RUN-EU partner institutions on the SAP.

The students will delve into case studies, ethical considerations, and strategies for prevention and intervention. This advanced course equips students with the knowledge and tools to critically analyse and address the challenges surrounding sex tourism and trafficking in the field of Hospitality and Tourism.
