FormaPro Well-Being
This project, co-financed by Obra Social la Caixa, provides teachers and professional youth workers with the tools, skills and abilities to effectively manage the enormous ill-being that today affects youth at individual, relational and collective level in different social settings.
The ill-being in the educational settings is a constant and growing. More and more teachers and youth workers encounter normalized behaviors and patterns of (self) abuse, violence and a hyper sexualization of daily life in young people. Especially when it comes to sexuality and sexual health education, most of the professionals do not have the capacity to face the challenges of this paralleled virtual and hyper-sexualized socialization that has been silently normalized and strongly affects the well-being of both youth and professionals.

Sexual Health, Healthy Body, Healthy Relationships
This project was in search of where young people are today, to support them, in relation to three central interrelated problems: sexual health, the quality of the relationship with one's own body and the social relations we establish with others, highly influenced today by the immense offer in pornographic matter easily accessible through the Internet.
​
The creation of a hypersexualised society, the result of the enormous supply and demand for pornography, and the consequences of which have been magnified thanks to the exaggerated use of social networks by young people, has made a significant impact on sexual health, the quality of the relationship with one's own body and the social relations we establish with others.

The school as a space of connection, coexistance & education in values
This project was a pilot experience of applyinga methodology of change in secondary level educational contexts based on a holistic approach of well-being anchored in, and focused on re-connecting with, the body. This empowering body education project (in a broad sense) allowed the construction of wellness records in the bodies of the participants that made it possible to change the close relationship previously established with the world of wellness. It also made it possible to associate the world of values with the quality of our relationship with our own body and the quality of the relationship with others.
