More than 1,600 students from the 1st year of ESO in educational centers of Lanzarote have participated in the latest edition of the education program in values and promotion of psychosocial health 'Amalgama', promoted by the Island Council through the Youth area.
Myriam Barros highlights the "high participation" in this initiative and appreciates "the collaboration of the teaching staff" of the educational centers and the participating "students".
This program has been developed during the academic year 2022-2023 through didactic, dynamic and participatory learning methodologies, allowing students to reflect on the rules of conduct that make up the collective morality, as well as to reason about the reason for certain attitudes they should have, all under a healthy psychoemotional perspective, the Cabildo advances.
"We live in a society in which contradictory values coexist, such as solidarity and competitiveness, which can sometimes make it difficult to understand them", she emphasizes.
"The pressure of the environment can affect people's psychoemotional health”
Also, "the pressure of the environment affects the construction of values and can affect people's psychoemotional health”, Barros points out, which is why she considers it "important that young people are educated in values under a healthy psychoemotional perspective”.
