Course contents

The workshop addresses the themes of gender education, consent, and affective relationships from an intersectional perspective, with contributions from experts in the field. Scientific evidence will be presented on the benefits of such interventions in terms of preventing violence and abuse, promoting well-being and mental health, along with best practices and established guidelines. Through discussions and experiential activities, the workshop will provide tools, techniques, toolkits, and approaches for designing and implementing gender education initiatives with children, adolescents, and adults. Active participation is required, with a willingness to engage personally, reflect critically, and experiment with educational practices. At the end of the workshop, the class will collaboratively develop an educational toolkit.
