Through six sessions, students have explored concepts such as direct and structural violence, International Humanitarian Law, military spending, conscientious objection, and peace initiatives, and have learned about the stories of activists from Gaza, Israel, South Africa, and Spain.<\/p>\n<p>The learning process is documented audiovisually.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the project, an explanatory video filmed at the Escola Montessori in Rub\u00ed has \u200b\u200bbeen produced, capturing one of the student work sessions. The video offers a close look at the development of the educational approach and how a space for reflection is created in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>The video features Cecile Barbeito, a trainer from the Escola de Cultura de Pau (School of Peace Culture), as well as two volunteers from the FAS (Foundation for Social Action), Ivet Pom\u00e9s and Alberto Le\u00f3n, who facilitated the activities. The video includes the voices of some students, who share their reflections on issues such as conscientious objection. It also includes some impressions from UAB (Autonomous University of Barcelona) students on how this pilot program has worked.<\/p>\n<p>The project has received support from the Ag\u00e8ncia Catalana de Cooperaci\u00f3 per al Desenvolupament, Generalitat de Catalunya.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;  &#8211;  &#8211;  &#8211;  &#8211;  &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to make a comment on this article, you may write to coordinator@cpnn-world.org with the title &#8220;Comment on (name of article)&#8221; and we will put your comment on line.
