The educational environment has changed profoundly over the past decade. Today’s institutions are far less homogeneous and more closely reflect the realities of our broader society: a diversity of genders, cultures, backgrounds, identities, and sexual orientations, as well as varied migration paths and multiple cultural reference points.
This diversity is an undeniable human richness. It fosters openness, learning, and relational creativity. However, when not well understood, it can also become a source of misunderstandings, discomfort, tension, or conflict — whether in friendships, romantic relationships, or professional interactions.
The goal is not to impose a single model of thinking or behavior, but rather to provide practical tools to:
-
better understand and interpret others
-
adjust communication effectively
-
recognize and respect one’s own boundaries as well as those of others
-
adopt attitudes that foster a healthy, respectful, and inclusive climate
Through concrete, real-life examples drawn from field experience and situations observed within educational settings, the speaker addresses topics such as:
-
Gender diversity and identity
-
Cultural diversity and the realities of newcomers
-
Cultural and relational gaps
-
Common misunderstandings arising from differences
This conference offers an accessible, human, and pragmatic reflection, enabling participants to leave with a deeper understanding of differences — and, most importantly, with concrete tools to build better relationships in their everyday lives.
