Presentation
The subject education and coexistence inside and outside the classroom has the aim to analyze the current situation in educational centers regarding coexistence. Through the course, we intend to reflect the problematic situations that may appear in the room and line-up all members in the educational community towards the prevention and positive resolution of conflicts.
Besides, in this subject, there is a relation within the school and social circumstances, raising a direct connection between what happens in the classroom and the day-to-day environment of children and young people. From this perspective, we propose different proceedings, resources, strategies and tools to improve the cohabitation inside and outside the classrooms.
Through the different units, we will analyze different situations that could be related with more or less problematic cases and the joint action will be proposed where all the members of the teaching community will take part: parents, teachers, students, non-teaching professionals, etc.Competences

Methodology
The different tasks and activities programmed during the semester have been developed with the goal of adapting the learning process to the different capabilities, necessities and interests of the students.
The activities included in the subject are:
- Work. These are activities of different types: reflection, case analysis, practice, etc.
- Participation in events. Events are scheduled every week of the semester: virtual face-to-face sessions, discussion forums, tests.
In the weekly program you can find the specific tasks you need to complete in this subject.
These activities are combined with the following aspects:
- Personal Study
- Tutoring. The tutoring class can be implemented through different tools and means. During the course of the subject, the teacher-tutor plans the individual tutoring on specific days for the resolution of academic-oriented doubts through “Consultation sessions”. Supplementing these sessions, students have also available the “Ask your teacher” forum through which they can formulate questions and check the corresponding answers on general aspects of the subject. Due to the very nature of the media used, there are no fixed schedules for the students.
- Mandatory on-site final exam.

You can do as many as you want to until a maximum grade of 4 points (which is the maximum grade you will be obtaining in the continuous assessment)In the weekly program, you can find the grade of each assignment. .
