Towards Quality Education: Pedagogy of Death

01.Jul - 02. Jul, 2024 Cod. H05-24

Description

We are all going to die. Without any exception. Children and young people will experience several deaths in their lives, until – hopefully when they are very old- they will experience their own death. And yet, in the education system, we act as if death does not exist.

In this course we will have the opportunity to enrich ourselves with the experiences and knowledge of experts from the educational community in Pedagogy of Death and grief. Together, we will create moments of exchange of ideas and learning.

  • The Pedagogy of Death is an education for life. It helps children and young people to take life globally and to activate the resources that, by nature, they have to face  death, so that they can live better the different deaths that life will bring them.
  • In a normalizing task, when no death has occurred around, it takes advantage of the situations that occur on a daily basis as well as other resources to talk, think, and share emotions about death together.
  • In educational support in grief, it helps to become aware of the emotions that arise in the face of any loss and to understand the natural process of grief. It considers essential the creation of a grieving roadmap or protocol at school.
