The initiative, which consists of nine sessions, primarily aims to promote emotional well-being, personal development, and learning among participants through specific activities.
This project is being carried out in collaboration with Raíces y Huellas (Roots and Footprints), an initiative led by Sara Redondo, who is a teacher, psychopedagogue, and specialist in Animal-Assisted Interventions.
Animal-assisted interventions include professional activities of a therapeutic, educational, or recreational nature, always under the supervision of qualified professionals, aiming to enhance people's well-being and development.
Through the various sessions, the program works to strengthen self-esteem, stimulate memory and attention, improve motor skills, and foster verbal and non-verbal communication among students.
The participation of the dogs is conducted with respect and care for the animals, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times, which are essential aspects for the success of these activities.
With this initiative, the Aranjuez City Council's Animal Welfare Delegation seeks to connect animal welfare with the educational field and personal development, offering students new learning and relationship experiences.
