Gender Equality is one of our eTwinning-Erasmus + project key thems. Spanish pupils were supporting their local network “Red de Igualdad Distrito Sur” and the NGO “Women in Conflict Zone (MZC)” to raise awareness and say NO and STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN using this year’s themes “Orange the world” and “Generation Equality”.
Although eTwinning is a safe platform, Spanish first year pupils attended a workshop on eSafety to be more aware and better equipped against online bullying, publication of images and social media. The workshop was delivered by the local NGO “Asociación Hogar Mariposas” specialized in prevention and dealing with addictions in the digital world.
Last Friday pupils and teachers from IES Guadalquivir took part in the first Erasmus + pupils joint event in Cordoba, Spain.
Held at our local Europe Direct Office and using cooperative groups, pupils exchanged information about their projects, met pupils from other schools and participated in a round table.
Local education authorities were there supporting the event.
A local radio station was also streaming live and interviewing coordinators from the different schools.
A succesful good practices exchange with excellent outputs and results:
A fantastic opportunity for our eTwinning-Erasmus + project to be shared

During last month third year pupils have been taking part in a workshop to raise awareness about one of our project themes: Sexual Identity. The workshop has been delivered by the Spanish Romani Women Association Kamira and it has used many resources such us: word clouds, motivational videos, debates and open questions. Pupils have enjoyed this workshop and they feel it has helped them to develop more tolerant attitudes towards LGBTIQ people. Coinciding with the international stand up to bullying game, pupils have also used the Twinboard created by Italian pupils in order to interact opinion and different images and news in relation to this theme.
In order to raise awareness about this matter, the Italian students have had lessons in different subjects to deal with bullying against weaker people, just because they are different for the colour of the skin, their size or their sexual orientation. They have read the ebook “Trans cuore” that is about a mum who was born in a male body then when she grew up she decided to follow her real nature and become a woman and a mum adopting tow babies. The students have learned that “ it’s right that everyone feels himself. Being yourself is a beautiful thing because it makes you free and brave, you don’t even have to lie to others. The way of being of other people must be respected”. (Mariano Gianola)
