3 and 4 of ESO: ‘The blue princes fade’. In these workshops, the dominant models of relationships in our society will be critically analysed. In them, in a collaborative way, arguments will be designed to deconstruct the myths of romantic love and tools will be offered to recreate a new conception of love.
Baccalaureate and Training Cycles: ‘We don’t want to be brave, we want to be free’. This workshop has the purpose of helping to identify the gender violence that may be behind affective and sexual relationships, as well as to analyze the different forms of sexual aggression that can occur within an affective relationship.

For Therefore, from the City Council we promote this program of workshops that work in the field of equality and the prevention of sexist violence”.
