Being ourselves is not an easy choice, even more if we have to cope with the difficulty of integrating into school and curbing discrimination.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We must start with contexual education to ensure that schools are places where diversity becomes a value and a strength<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On 26 and 30 June, in addition to the activities foreseen by the SENSE project, CESIE promoted two training sessions<\/strong> – through the CISCO online platform – by Professor Burgio (Kore University) in order to support 15 teachers of the Euroform professional institute on the training needs<\/strong> expressed in the training on April 16th regarding the theme of sexual diversity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Professor Burgio, in the wake of interactive sessions and free discussion with teachers, using a direct reading key, has deepened some techniques of analysis of problems relating to the theme of sexual diversity<\/strong> and therefore the communication strategies of comparison with students<\/strong> in order to create a safe and secure environment<\/strong> during the project activities.<\/p>\n

Professor Burgio cited concrete cases of bullyin<\/strong>g, focusing on the various types of homophobia<\/strong> that exist (heterosexism, genderism, biphobia, lesbophobia, gayphobia) and the related youth language<\/strong>. He was able to give a general picture of the homophobic reality of our present, deepening the various hierarchies of power that nestle there.<\/p>\n

He also explained what lies at the basis of homophobia<\/strong> which one’s own psychological reassurance and therefore protection from the victimization of others: homophobia is in fact a social system in which society is organized, a form of hatred linked to fear and ’embarrassment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is therefore necessary to respond to these needs to stem homophobia by promoting a win-win approach through greater awareness on the issue of discrimination against the LGBTQ + community<\/strong> and a contextual education for adolescents<\/strong> aimed at reviewing their internal hierarchy of values and therefore their ideology.<\/p>\n

Today, however, society is based on heteronormativity that is on heterosexuality as a unique model that – through stereotypes, prejudices and violence (symbolic, verbal, physical, asymmetrical and normative) – produces a form of denial of the LGBTQ + community.<\/p>\n

The SENSE Project breaks the hate chain and promotes diversity in vocational schools, hoping for a more inclusive, safe and welcoming school.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t
