Around fifty boys and girls from the Children's Councils of Granollers, Canovelles and Les Franqueses have met this Wednesday at La Porxada to participate in a new workshop of the project Humans. This meeting has been linked, as always, to the XVIII International Congress of Educating Cities, but also to the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Granollers City Children's Council.
The Humanae project is an artistic and pedagogical proposal from the photographer Angelica Dass. The aim is to facilitate a collective reflection based on self-portraits and the identification of one's own skin colour. Through this anti-racist experience, children will be able to analyse to what extent skin colour has a decisive weight in today's society.
The workshop invites us to question the Stereotypes, the prejudice I'm listening inequalities which are built around skin colour, and to become aware of the dynamics of racism that still persist. These workshops are already being held for over a thousand children and young people in some twenty schools and institutes in Granollers, Canovelles, Les Franqueses, and La Roca.
