In this sense, Mamen Sánchez has affirmed that “we have been moved by the Emotional Coexistence Classroom, and how through the pedagogy of feelings children who are having a hard time at some point can be helped. Public schools are innovating, and working hard in this aspect so that our boys and girls are the best possible in the school environment”.
Isabel Reina, director of the CEIP ‘Ciudad de Jerez’, explained that “four years ago we realized that boys and girls suffered a lot due to some circumstance, they had disruptive behavior due to those bad times, the death of a family member, a divorce … And for this reason we created the classroom with a specialist in emotions”.
“I don’t know of any center that carries out this line of work. It came from us, it is an educational innovation program, we do not know anyone who is running it. Two years ago the Faculty of Education in Madrid became aware of this program and they contacted us. It came from the heart of the ‘Ciudad de Jerez’. We are also excited for the school year to return without so many restrictions. We are delighted with the interior of the building, with the courtyard, every time we go to the Town Hall they have treated us perfectly”, said the director of the aforementioned educational center.
