Abstract

RODRIGUEZ DIAZ, Marta  and  SANTOS, Lílian. Experience of dialogue between adults and young university students on gender issues. Med. ética [online]. 2024, vol.35, n.1, pp.9-60.  Epub Mar 30, 2024. ISSN 2594-2166.  https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2024v35n1.01.

The generational difference affects the student-university teacher relationship and has consequences on learning. To promote openness to dialogue among these groups on conflicting issues, a series of workshops were developed for a gender dialogue experience. The approach was multidisciplinary, including elements of philosophy, sociology, com munication, and bioethics. The theoretical lines of approach were Engelhardt’s “moral strangers”, a parallel with intercultural dialogue, and communication at the level of the values at stake. This article reports the methodology of the two-day workshops held at a university in Mexico. The participants were 50 young people (between 18 and 25 years) and 50 adults. Four workshops and two surveys were conducted, interspersed by three conferences. The article presents each activity with the corresponding learning objective and results. In conclusion, some lessons on intergenerational dialogue and on gender dialogue are offered.

Keywords : dialogue; sexual diversity; intergenerational encounters; gender; teacher-student relationship.
