We will have the presence of Beatriz Triana Pérez, Full Professor in the Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology at the University of La Laguna, member of the research team FADE (Family, Development and Education) and CUMECO (University Center for Mediation and Coexistence Studies), of the ULL.

She will be joined in the discussion by three remarkable women who share a vocation and passion for education: Esther Sosa Álamo, a teacher at a primary school in the south of the island; Carmen Trujillo González, a teacher and principal at a primary school in Santa Cruz de Tenerife; and, representing diverse families, Iballa Álamo Sosa, who will share her experience of living in a family where two devoted mothers face the daily challenge of raising and educating their three-year-old twins, a boy and a girl.

Is Canarian Spanish a kind of "poorly spoken" Castilian? Do Canarians sometimes feel a little insecure when speaking in public? Do we occasionally think that our way of addressing others isn't very "formal" if we don't pronounce the final 's' sound or if we don't use 'vosotros'? What is Spanish? And Castilian? How is it spoken, and what language is taught in schools? And, amidst all these questions… where does Canarian Spanish fit in?

All these issues are addressed from a clear and straightforward perspective in the video discussion offered on Friday, May 21st, by the President of the Canary Islands Academy of Language, Humberto Hernández Hernández. Author of numerous books and countless articles on Language and Literature, this Professor of Spanish Philology, born in Tenerife, a renowned lexicographer, PhD, university professor, and teacher, has dedicated much time to reflecting on these aspects.

April 1st is World Health Day, and to mark the occasion, the Faculty of Education is organizing this video discussion to talk about health education and promotion. The discussion will highlight the importance of good basic healthcare, holistic, participatory, and responsible care, and health communication and prevention during the current pandemic. All of this will be addressed from a gender perspective in health research, treatment, and care.

They will accompany us professionals With experience from the front lines, María Sáinz and María Herrera de la Muela. In the subsequent discussion, we will have the opportunity to share with our colleague Ana María Arricivita Verdasco, professor of the subject Health Education in Childhood, in the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education at our Faculty.

The Faculty of Education is organizing this video discussion that will be led by Amparo Tomé, sociologist and researcher specializing in Sociology of Education, focusing her activity on Gender and Education, at the national and international level.

She will discuss coeducation as a new educational approach that diagnoses not only sexism in the education system but also the underlying values of an unreflective world, rushing to address the urgent but not the important. Coeducation opens the door to placing human beings, with their strengths and weaknesses, back at the center of the education system.

Coeducation includes cooperation, friendship, the immense importance of getting closer to and caring for Nature; looking at and treating children with tenderness; giving girls tools to dismantle the myths of beauty as the only feminine value, the traps of romantic love and the sexual model of the female body.

The celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the Faculty of Education conclude on Friday, February 12.
The video discussion, which will begin at 3:00 p.m., will feature the Minister of Education, Manuela de Armas, who will talk with Amador Guarro, Javier Marrero and Mariló Baena.

The ULL Polyphonic Choir will then give a concert.

The Faculty of Education is organizing an event on Friday, February 5th., The seventh video discussion addressing the issue of Innovation and the training offer in Physical Education.

What are the main lines of innovation in this Area/Subject? How can this innovation be transformed into good educational practices? What would be the role of Physical Education in 21st-century Education?What reflections can be drawn on the role of Physical Education based on the new Education Law (LOMLOE) and after the current health and social crisis? What training programs would be necessary to meet all these challenges?

The Faculty of Education is organizing this video discussion that will be led by  José Luis Estévez Ramón (Güicho), who holds a degree in Music from the Conservatory of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and has been a music teacher in different Folklore Schools and at the German School of Adeje.
