El Gobierno de Castilla-La Mancha imparte formación en diversidad en Sigüenza
Sigüenza (Guadalajara), 9 de enero de 2026.- El Gobierno de Castilla-La Mancha, a través del Servicio de Atención Integral a personas LGTBI, ha impartido en el IES ‘Martín Vázquez de Arce’ de Sigüenza una formación dirigida a alumnado de Educación Secundaria, con el objetivo de fomentar la educación en diversidad y prevenir la discriminación por orientación sexual o identidad de género.
La consejera de Igualdad, Sara Simón, ha acompañado al alumnado de Sigüenza en la primera jornada de estas formaciones y ha destacado la importancia de intervenir desde edades tempranas. “Para el Gobierno de Castilla-La Mancha es un compromiso firme que los servicios que ponemos a disposición estén para todos y cada uno de los municipios, independientemente de cerca o de lo lejos que estén de las capitales de provincia. Hoy estamos construyendo una sociedad mejor, estamos ayudando a que estas personas adolescentes tengan herramientas para alcanzar ese objetivo, en tiempos en los que los discursos de odio, la crispación, la situación conflictiva en la sociedad, especialmente les llega a las personas jóvenes a través de las redes sociales”, ha asegurado.
During the day, 93 students between the ages of 14 and 16 participated, working with dynamics adapted to their age on basic concepts of sexual and gender diversity, identification of stereotypes and prejudices, prevention of LGTBQ+phobia, and promotion of empathy and coexistence. The program will continue on Monday, January 12 with four more sessions aimed at 68 students, completing a total of seven workshops benefiting 161 young people in the town.
Simón has also highlighted the role of the LGTBI Integral Care Service as a public service and as a mechanism for preventing hatred, within the objectives of the Law on Sexual Diversity and LGTBI Rights in Castilla-La Mancha. «One of its main objectives was to educate and raise awareness through education in order to have a society based on respect, coexistence, and equality, and above all, also to be able to detect more efficiently and effectively cases of bullying, isolation, discrimination, and LGTBQ+phobia, which are cases of hate towards people because of their identity or sexual orientation.»
The program is part of the strategy of the Department of Equality to guarantee safe, inclusive, and respectful educational environments for all individuals. The training actions of the LGTBI Integral Care Service also allow for raising awareness among strategic sectors such as education, health, and youth, social organizations, or the labor, social, and community sphere, consolidating the role of the service as a public reference in Castilla-La Mancha. Just in 2025, the training sessions of the LGTBI Integral Care Service reached more than 1,100 people directly and more than 2,500 indirectly, including students, teachers, and professionals from different fields.
With these trainings, the regional Government continues to move towards a more inclusive region, where diversity is lived with normality and where every child can grow up being who they are, freely and without fear.
