The Naiz association has made five videos to work on sexual identity and diversity at school
- To work in depth on sexual identity and diversity in Secondary Education, the Naiz Transsexual Minors Families Association has made five videos. “Schools need resources to work on these issues and teachers do not feel able to deal with them. This has been the first step and from now on we will build the entire teaching unit”, explained ARGIA from the association.
The videos directed to ESO students have as theme and title: Sexual characteristics, Sexual identity, Sexual diversity, Some mixtures and Taking care of each other. On 28 January and 6, 13, 20 and 27 February they will be publishing videos on the networks of the Naiz association. From the association we have been told that to work on these topics educators need material and that they are asking more and more: “We started to create didactic units that needed an audiovisual base. This has been the first step.”
Commenting on the importance of working sexuality also with the youngest, we have been told that they go step by step and that there is more need in ESO: “In Children and Primary there are more resources (stories, videos, comics...) and as the depth level is not so high, the teachers also adapt more easily”.
"In these videos we have wanted to reflect the real situations that can occur in life and think that through humor it will be easier to reach them"
Humor in the videos starring Aitziber Garmendia, Kepa Errasti and Garazi Urkola. In Naizen they are clear that “we cannot give the theoretical veneer of approaching young people, that is why when we go to the centers, before adults approach our young people to share their experiences with students, because when done among peers it is more real. From there, we wanted to reflect in these videos the real situations that can occur in life and think that with humor it will be easier for them to arrive”.
What makes us a woman, what a man?
But humor doesn't subtract the subject. In the first video a family discusses what characteristics a person does and what characteristics women are, a starting point that leads the protagonists to reflect. Then just a small part of the video:
The full video (Sexual Characteristics) will be presented at the annual festival to be held by the Naiz association on January 28 in the main building of the Gipuzkoa Scientific and Technological Park. They have prepared numerous activities and among them will be released the winning design of the Naizen T-shirt. As usual every year, “they will review everything that has been achieved since eight families started this road in 2015 and remember the previous challenges until they reach a society in which diversity is a value”, “because there is still work to ensure that transsexuality of children and young people is not an obstacle course”.
Pornography has been the subject of debate for decades and much of the debate has been a moralistic and alarming view of adult society. However, it is time to question this narrow view and to understand pornography from a broader and more precise perspective.
