Fuerteventura education events to focus on emotional wellbeing on 20 and 21 November
Teachers, families and education professionals can join conversations and a day of activities at Fuerteventura’s Centro Insular de Juventud.
Fuerteventura’s Centro Insular de Juventud will host two days of conversations and activities on emotional wellbeing in education on 20 and 21 November.
Organised by Emocuidando with the participation of the Cabildo’s Education and Youth department, the programme will bring together teachers and other professionals to explore emotional challenges affecting educators, young people and families. It is the first time the centre will host both ‘Creálogos Educativos-Paliques que Conectan’ and ‘Emocuidando en la Educación’.
Adargoma Hernández, the Cabildo’s councillor for education and youth, said the authority wanted to support an education that attends to emotional wellbeing as well as transmitting knowledge. He emphasised the importance of caring for educators, listening to young people and supporting families.
