The more than 5 thousand students that make up the school community of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, as well as the teachers, mothers and fathers and the rest of the educational staff, will benefit from the Strategic Awareness Plan in Sexual Education that has been launched by the Department of Municipal education, coordinated by Clari Martel.
This strategy, of a global nature and framed in the 'School and Family' Project, is aimed at raising awareness in the municipality's school community about the importance of sexual education. “This initiative is aimed at students, teachers and parents, also involving health professionals. Our interest is maximum, since we have to generate a citizenry that is respectful, inclusive and tolerant of the different ways of understanding sexuality,” said Mayor Conchi Narváez.
So far, the community of the IES Tamara, Faro, Amurga, as well as the CEO of Tunte, have already received training in this regard, a learning that includes teachers, to whom the role they must play within the strategy is explained. in terms of raising awareness about sexual education.
Talk to Early Childhood Education teachers
Likewise, it is worth noting the great reception that the talk given recently by the sexology specialist Almudena Herranz had, on the part of the Early Childhood Education teachers, CEP Dunas, Pepe Monagas and Oasis.
The fundamental idea that the expert conveyed was: “We must work from esteem, it is not only about feeling respected. The key is to accept the sexual identity of any person with love and esteem.”
“We want to better understand what each of our students and their families are experiencing, feeling and wanting at this vital moment. In this way, we will be able to accompany them in the most appropriate way based on the values of each family,” indicated the head of the Area, Clari Martel.
The activities began at the end of last November, with the inauguration, at the El Tablero House of Culture, of the exhibition titled 'Tejiendo Redes. Sexual Education and Disability´. Organized by the entity 'Iraya Archipiélago', which is in charge of cultural management and distribution, together with the help of the Government of the Canary Islands. A project based and executed by people with disabilities within the cultural field.
A few days that lasted for three days, and included the training of the teachers of the IES Amurga and Faro de Maspalomas, as well as the courses and workshops carried out, in initial training, for both the teachers and students of the CEO of Tunte.
It should be noted that all these actions are coordinated by the Educational and Psychopedagogical Guidance Team (EOEP). A task that the Education councilor herself greatly values, as she herself has conveyed to this group of municipal professionals.
