The University of Burgos has joined an exciting team with the Polytechnic of Leiria from Portugal, Euroform from Italy, the Official College of Psychologists of Castilla y León, and Bjäland to present to you a very interesting course: “New Teaching Perspectives in Gender Violence Victim Intervention within Higher Education Curricula.”
What makes this course so special?
Well, it’s part of something even bigger: the European Project 360 REWIN, financially supported by the European Commission. The course is designed to fit into your schedule, as it will take place during the afternoons of September 18th and 19th, 2023, and also during the morning of the 19th, in the impressive Auditorium of the Faculty of Education of our beloved University of Burgos.
What can you expect from this course?
It’s not just a series of academic lessons. We are aiming to go beyond and make our reflections translate into a real impact on our current society. The central idea is to promote the creation of a higher educational environment that is attentive and responsive to the gender and class challenges in our society. And we are not alone in this, as we have the participation of experts from different fields such as education, psychology, and health, who have worked with individuals facing discrimination.
Our goal is clear
We want to equip our future professionals with the necessary tools, skills, and attitudes to face these challenges. We strive to educate individuals who are sensitive to personal needs and dedicated to building a fairer and more equitable society. We firmly believe that through education, we can create a real and positive impact, weaving a network of understanding, empathy, and change.
On behalf of everyone who has worked on organizing this course, we extend a warm invitation to join this exciting intellectual and ethical adventure. Together, we will explore “New Teaching Perspectives in Gender Violence Victim Intervention within Higher Education Curricula” and generate an enriching dialogue that will resonate in our classrooms and throughout society.
