The company has been around the country for a year with the play 'Beelzebub: The Lord of the Flies', directed by Antonio García.

"The abuser is like a fly that is prowling the victim," explains Blanca, in which the work addresses the views of both the abuser and the victim and the teachers, as well as the issue of cyberbullying and social networks with young actors, so that schoolchildren can identify with them more easily.

The International Day against bullying arose from the initiative of the educational community to give visibility to the consequences on the victims that this behavior has intentionally over time, with sequelae that even last beyond the school period as depression .

From the different public administrations, work is being done to create policies that favor educational inclusion, equal rights and opportunities, nonviolence in classrooms or the promotion of adequate values ​​that also include gender violence.

These issues are priorities in the directives of schools in the city, which have been conducting coexistence and anti-bullying programs in collaboration with the Department of Education as workshops and lectures in primary and secondary school, the program of Family Schools, the program The Police Educates in collaboration with the Local Police, others for the prevention of gender violence, intercultural education and awareness with disability, among others.
