The City of Women regularly organizes professional seminars aimed at educating and training teachers, as well as individuals involved in cultural and artistic education within youth centers, non-governmental organizations, associations, and similar entities. In this way, we convey knowledge that can be used through art to promote the recognition of gender inequalities within educational systems and society at large. Educating teaching professionals about gender-related topics is crucial for creating a more inclusive, fair, and supportive educational environment that respects and values the diverse identities and experiences of all students.
Manuals, using various methods are available to create a safe space for addressing feminist themes, which can be utilized by professional educators in their work.
