Campus FAD - Desactiva tus prejuicios

What the project is

Desactiva tus prejuicios is a FAD Juventud initiative designed to help adolescents and young adults identify discriminatory prejudice and stereotypes involving gender, sexual identity, racism, xenophobia, ageism and other forms of exclusion. It uses the performing arts, particularly social theater, as an educational tool.

Activities and resources

• A teaching guide with proposals for using social theater in education
• A national theater competition for adolescent groups, with categories including Teatro de Conciencia and Desactiva tus prejuicios
• Webinars addressing the project's central subjects
• Original research, including a survey on harmful prejudice among young people in Spain and a study of the beliefs that sustain stereotypes and prejudice
