Spanish Queen Letizia had a day out with the young kiddies this week when she visited a school in Cortes de Cadiz in Madrid , which is part of the Socio-Emotional Education Program,Think Equal, a Socio-Emotional Education project for children from 3 to 6 years of age prepared by experts in emotional intelligence. This was Letizia’s third engagement this week and a step away from the annual staples like FITUR opening.
Founded in 2016 by the 2018 UN Women for Peace Award winner, Leslee Udwin, the vision of the need for a Socio-Emotional Education project such as “Think Equal” came to her in the course of a professional experience filming a documentary on violence against women in India. After interviewing the guilty of a terrible gang rape for many hours, Leslee realized that violence is rooted in social and cultural entrenchment that have certain discriminatory ideas based on differences by gender, race, religion or capacity.
Since January 2017, Thin Equal has been implemented in 19 countries on 5 continents and has benefited more than 170,000 children’s students. The Programme has been endorsed by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNICEF and UNESCO and is collaborating with Pope Francis’s Ocurrent Scholas. As of 2024 it has already been implemented in 34 countries.
The Gomaespuma Foundation, committed for more than 20 years to Early Childhood Education under the motto “Educating with a Smile,” brought the program to Spain. The Gomaespuma Foundation emerges from the initiative of journalists Juan Luis Cano and Guillermo Fesser, thanks to the collaboration of its audience in its well-known Gomaespuma radio program. The main objective of the Gomaespuma Foundation is the promotion of culture and the promotion of education among the most disadvantaged social groups anywhere in the world.
