Excursion to Vall d'Uixò. School Day of Peace and Non-Violence

On January 27, the School Day of Peace and Non-Violence was celebrated, focusing on promoting values such as pacifism, respect, solidarity, and non-violence. During this day, various activities were carried out, including a visit to the Grutas de San José in la Vall d’Uixò. This place is of great importance, recognized by UNESCO as a site of cultural interest and world heritage. These caves have been inhabited by humans for approximately 17,000 years, and their walls exhibit paintings and engravings that reflect the history and social coexistence of humanity, symbolizing the human trace that later becomes history. Over time, the limits of exploration have been flexibilized, transforming the local challenge into archaeological research. The local government also provided the services of a guide who enthusiastically explained the corners of the town and its evolution over the centuries.

The excursion involved 40 students from the Master's Degree in International Studies of Peace, Conflicts, and Development, from which 20 were from different nationalities.

FIELD TRIP TO VILAFAMÉS

Last Saturday 12th November, 50 students from the Master's programme went on a study trip to the beautiful village of Vilafamés (province of Castellón) to get to know its historical and cultural heritage and enjoy the conviviality.

During the day they were able to visit the Oil and Tasting Cooperative, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Mayo García winery. They also took a guided tour of the village (Old Town and Castle).

We send you our heartfelt congratulations Barbara!

The project "Comunica com Alma" by our Master's student and PhD student Bárbara Tomiatti Giancola was awarded by the Municipal Secretariat of Human Rights and Citizenship (SMDHC) of the City Council of São Paulo, Brazil. The project lasted 6 months and involved the participation of around 40 young people.

The initiative "Training in Socio-emotional Development with young people from the NGO Gerando Falcões" was recognised with the 5th Human Rights and Diversity Seal. The objectives of this initiative were to work on communication and autonomy of the team of young people who work with functions such as customer service, logistics and sales of the solidarity bazaar organised by the NGO Gerando Falcões. Among the topics covered were empathic listening, non-violent communication, diversity and emotional intelligence. As a result, the benefits of the activities were an improve of communicative expression, greater social and emotional awareness, self-knowledge, health and well-being, understanding of needs, improved relationships, openness to dialogue and contribution to the culture of peace.

The awarded initiative was the one that inspired Barbara Tomiatti's doctoral research, which is an interdisciplinary study between Culture of Peace, Social Communication and Education for socio-emotional development.

The trophy was designed by the indigenous artist O Tamikuã Txihi, member of the Tekoa Itakupe, Jaraguá indigenous land in São Paulo, of the Mbya Guarani people. A symbol that promotes the physical and spiritual protection of the bodies, territories and knowledge of indigenous peoples.

FIELD TRIP TO PEÑISCOLA

Erasmus+ project “Sustainable and inclusive cities”

On the 22nd of October, took place a workshop in collaboration with the Erasmus+ project “Sustainable and inclusive cities”, focused on two issues: sustainable development and social integration.

12th June - 1m2 against littered Nature 2021

The ‘LIBERA, united against littered nature’ project, created by the environmental Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) SEO/BirdLife, in alliance with the non-profit organisation Ecoembes, came to life in 2017 to curb the consequences of abandoned litter in natural spaces (littered nature, basuraleza in Spanish) in Spain. Ecoembes promotes a circular economy through the recycling of packaging and, in the specific case of the Libera Project, promotes the awareness and mobilization of citizens to keep nature free of waste and litter and thus contribute to healthier ecosystems and conserve a more resilient biodiversity.

For its fifth anniversary, the Libera Project organized a country-wide environmental clean-up activity called ‘1m2 against littered nature’. The clean-up activity took place on June 12th throughout Spain with the participation of organised citizens in the form of local NGOs, city councils, associations of mothers and fathers of students (AMPA), among others.

The group 'Semillero DEEP', whose members are mostly students and professionals of the International Master in Peace, Conflicts and Development Studies of Jaume I University of Castellón de la Plana, joined the litter collection point organized by the AMPA of El Palmeral School of Benicasim (Castellón), to contribute a small seed to this great citizens’ initiative. Semillero DEEP offers a platform that supports any person or group that wishes to initiate projects or activities that promote social justice with the aim of creating safe spaces for dialogue through peace circles, art exhibitions and experimental workshops.

Unfortunately, we still have a long way to go if we want to leave a healthier and more sustainable planet to our children and future generations. We all have the responsibility to inform ourselves, raise awareness and mobilize in favour of the maintenance of a litter-free natural environment, so that in the future, this type of clean-up activity is no longer necessary.

12 de junio - 1m2 contra la basuraleza 2021

El Proyecto ‘LIBERA, unidos contra la basuraleza’, creado por la Organización No-Gubernamental (ONG) ambiental SEO/BirdLife, en alianza con la organización sin ánimo de lucro Ecoembes, nació en el 2017 para frenar las consecuencias de la basura abandonada en los espacios naturales (basuraleza) de España. Ecoembes promueve la economía circular a través del reciclaje de los envases y, en el caso concreto del Proyecto Libera, impulsa la concienciación y movilización de la ciudadanía para mantener la naturaleza libre de basura y así contribuir a unos ecosistemas más sanos y conservar una biodiversidad resistente.

Para su quinto aniversario, desde el Proyecto Libera se organizó una gran acción de limpieza ciudadana del entorno natural denominada ‘1m2 contra la basuraleza’. Esta jornada de limpieza se llevó a cabo el 12 de junio en toda España con la participación de una ciudadanía organizada desde diferentes espacios como lo pueden ser ONGs locales, ayuntamientos, asociaciones de madres y padres de alumnos (AMPA), entre otros.

El grupo ‘Semillero DEEP’, cuyos miembros en su mayoría son estudiantes y profesionales del Master Internacional en Estudios de Paz, Conflictos y Desarrollo de la Universitat Jaume I de Castellón de la Plana, se sumó al punto de recogida de basuraleza organizado por el AMPA del CEIP El Palmeral de Benicasim (Castellón), para aportar su pequeña semilla a esta gran iniciativa ciudadana. Semillero DEEP ofrece una plataforma que apoya a cualquier persona o grupo que desee iniciar proyectos o actividades que promuevan la justicia social con el objetivo de crear espacios seguros para el diálogo a través de círculos de paz, exhibiciones de arte y talleres experimentales.

Desafortunadamente nos queda un largo camino por recorrer si queremos dejarles a nuestros hijos y a las próximas generaciones un planeta más sano y sostenible. Todos tenemos la responsabilidad de informarnos, concientizarnos y movilizarnos a favor del mantenimiento de unos espacios naturales libres de basura para que en un futuro, este tipo de acciones de limpieza ya no sean necesarias.
