The workshop Tan monos com jo is inscribed in the educational framework Èxit 2: workshops in extracurricular contexts for curricular diversification organised by the Consorci d’Educació de Barcelona and directed by secondary students. This workshop, lasting approximately 30 hours, will take place for the first time during the 2007-2008 school year in eight schools from around Barcelona, which will qualify them as possible candidates to the “Professor Jordi Sabater Pi” awards organised by the chair of “El Cervell Social”.
The workshop Tan monos com jo or “Just as much of a monkey as me” uses primatology as a source of knowledge when trying to understand the social behaviour of humans, and utilises the elaboration of an audiovisual piece as a platform for the transmission and development of skills related to recent technologies. The participation in the contest “Professor Jordi Sabater Pi” which awards the analysis of social behaviours in audiovisual format and based on our knowledge of primatology is designed to be a positive stimulus of extra support and teamwork.
