Abstract
Gender equality continues to be established as one of the goals common to all countries, and despite some encouraging achievements, coeducation is one of the measures demanded to achieve this horizon from the early educational stages. The objectives of this paper are to present the design and implementation of a coeducational initiative, as well as the analysis of its achievements and limitations. Specifically, the project has been implemented with all the courses of a Preschool and Primary school (61 students).
Considering the methodology of the proposal, it has been based on gamification and service learning. Therefore, the experience has been enriched with significant elements of the game, and with a collective and social objective. 32 sessions on different curricular and gender equality content have been implemented for approximately one month. To make the development of this initiative possible, a crowdfunding campaign has been completed to pay for the materials, the filming of a video clip at school, among other expenses.
In relation to the results, all the objectives set out in the coeducational project have been achieved, but the initial timing has been a difficulty for its optimal development. As future lines of action, the need to design proposals similar to the present one, but on other related contents such as gender diversity, family diversity, among other possibilities.
