The initiative, driven by the community health working group, started on Wednesday, October 14th, and will continue on Thursday, October 15th, with various activities led by the cooperative Magranes, specializing in educational projects and emotional well-being promotion.
The Councilor for Education, Mònica López, highlighted the project's importance for working on self-esteem, self-concept, and self-image. Magranes emphasized the need to question narratives that present the body as a project to be changed, stating that "we are all unique and there is diversity of bodies".
The 'Estima't' project, funded by the Barcelona Provincial Council, stems from needs identified by the Local Health Plan to promote young people's emotional well-being through psychoeducational guidance and support.
During the sessions, students have worked on key concepts such as self-esteem and self-image, learning to motivate themselves and value themselves positively. The Departments of Personal Services (Youth, Education, and Sports), in collaboration with the CAP (Primary Care Center), plan to continue promoting new actions to offer more emotional health resources to educational centers and the public.
