In cooperation with “Ayuntamiento de Gijon” a zoom workshop took place on 7th March 2026, with the participation of 43 mothers and 14 young women from the Learn-by-Play program from the target sites. The workshop was on “coping with fear during difficult times”, given by a psychologist. The participants got a chance to express their feelings, and learned breathing techniques and stress management exercises applicable for both mothers and children. Feedback highlighted increased emotional strength and positivity in facing ongoing challenges.
They also participated in another Zoom session on 2nd April, on “Supportive Mechanisms for Families and Students to Face the Challenges of Remote Education”, which was delivered by a specialist in education. The specialist discussed the challenge the students are facing in these difficult times, specifically learning from home. The mothers discussed their personal experience, and learned how they can, as a family , support their children and help them in their studies in a supportive environment.
