Por Redaccion The Equality Council of the Avilés City Council is launching a new cycle of eight free workshops for women residing in the municipality, which will be held from April to June at the Casa de las Mujeres (C/ La Ferrería 27). Priority will be given to women who have not participated in the workshops before. Each workshop has a capacity of 20 participants, except for those requiring a smaller group, which will have 15 spots.
In this edition, due to the success of previous workshops on financial education, emotional development, and new activities like Nordic walking, a specific WhatsApp workshop with three groups has been added. Additionally, there will be workshops on gender stereotypes analysis and women’s history.
Pre-registration is open from April 4th to 10th for up to 4 workshops, indicating priority order. Assistance will be provided at Casa de las Mujeres for pre-registration. Participants must be women over 18 years old and residing in Avilés. Priority will be given to those who have not previously attended the workshops. Registration is allowed for up to three workshops, with confirmation of placement at the end of the pre-registration period. Participants should not miss more than three sessions of each workshop.
