The principles of a shared transformative education based on the UNWomen guidelines, implemented by the CLIL methodology, become a common basis for social justice, sustainable development and individual and collective freedom, contributing to equal opportunities and building knowledge, attitudes, skills and behaviours to live in harmony with oneself, others and the environment.
