The approach of our Gestalt humanistic approach to the educational contexts It is based on strengthening the foundations for healthy, responsible, and balanced development as an individual and social being. This development is fostered by working on boundaries, autonomy, and social relationships, among other things.
In our activities aimed at the educational community, we encourage the recognition and expression of adolescents' impulses, needs, emotions, and desires; we guide and support them using the personal tools that all of us involved in this educational field can contribute. These activities should not be structured as isolated events, but rather as a shared project where we all contribute and mutually enrich each other. To this end, it would be helpful to create spaces for coordination and exchange among those involved in the training.
Activity: "Male and female are all" action against gender violence.
The proposal to hold this workshop for educational centers arises from reflection on a topic that we consider extremely important and that needs to be addressed at these early ages, a time when preventive efforts can be most effective.
We launched this self-awareness workshop, emphasizing that the characteristics we observe in others as differences, whether considered feminine or masculine, are present in all of us—biologically, culturally, and socially—and that bringing them into play and accepting them in oneself is the path to being able to accept them in the other person. Self-respect, allowing ourselves to be who we are, goes hand in hand with respect for others.
This adult reflection (parents, teachers, educators, etc.) is important so that we can be role models for the young people around us through this integration and responsibility.
