The City Council brings family diversity to schools with a card game

This morning the new joint initiative of the departments of Education and Equality and Diversity has been presented at the City Council of Dénia that seeks to bring the current family reality to the students of Dénia, La Xara and Jesús Pobre. Through a card game, the students of the centers "They will break sexist prejudices", opening the concept of diverse family.

Councilor Javier Scotto has recognized that it is "a very exciting project that matters of diversity", which continues the dynamics of the City Council to carry out a cross-sectional work between different departments in this area. The initiative consists of a card game that will be delivered to the centers in order for students to play with them and conduct workshops.

But it is not an ordinary game. Tutty, which is his name, is a deck with which children must form a family with the characters offered. Now, it seeks to move away from the traditional concept so that players are free to determine what a family is and reason. The options are endless, in which single-parent, homoparental, adoptive families are taken into account, in addition to having cards in which the player must determine the gender of the person and the role he plays in the unit.

It is a project that has already been carried out in other centers of the Valencian Community, even getting organized by amateur tournaments, and which will now incorporate the public centers of Dénia, La Xara and Jesús Pobre, in which there has been a great acceptance unanimous for the directions and whose students of 5th and 6th grade of primary education will launch this same course. To them, as stated by the Councilor for Education, Melani Ivars, they expect the concerted centers to join.
