The students of IES Teguise and Costa Teguise, received this Monday Pedro García Aguado, family interventionist, storyteller and television presenter who offered last Monday his talk "A learning trip" to the two groups of teenagers from Teguise who changed their usual school day for a session of active listening with the well-known former water polo player, who offers conferences on education, motivation and prevention, extracted from his life and professional experience.
The mayor of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, accompanied by the councilors Olivia Duque, Sara Bermúdez and Javier Díaz, welcomed him to the Villa de Teguise in the first session aimed at the boys and girls of the Teguise institute from the Santo Domingo Convent, where he received hundreds of students to later visit the students of Bachiller of the IES Costa Teguise. This Tuesday, he has moved to La Graciosa to talk with the students of the CEO Ignacio Aldecoa.
This conference "A learning trip", aimed at students of 3rd and 4th year of ESO and Baccalaureate, "is a journey through the life of Pedro García Aguado", Olympic and World Water Polo Champion in the 90s, in which he tells "how the decisions he made as a young man made him live the best of sport and the worst of addiction to alcohol and other drugs".
Thanks to the learning extracted as a high-level athlete, his personal life experience and the necessary training, both practical and technical, in the sector of treatments to overcome addiction and the re-conduction of behavior in the family environment, García Aguado has begun this new stage "focused on continuing to help people who need it and with the dynamization of youth spaces for awareness and transmission of healthy leisure".
"Children and adolescents are not bad people, only that in some cases they have bad behavior"
"Children and adolescents are not bad people, only that in some cases they have bad behavior", considers the former athlete while transmitting to the youngest values of honesty, authenticity, loyalty, trust and credibility, and makes them participate in their sessions "so that they open up and express the reason for their feelings".
