Cementiris de Barcelona and AUDIR, the UNESCO Association for Interreligious Dialogue, have presented the Grief Educational Suitcase, consisting of a set of projects, activities and explanations based around grief and how to approach it. This pioneering initiative in Barcelona with an educational context for handling death is aimed at schools with students between the ages of 14 and 18.

The idea is to work on grief as a readjustment to the new reality without what has been lost, and consequently as a moment of transformation where everything is constantly changing. Adolescence, a stage of life characterises by changes, is a good moment to talk about the grief that young people experience in some way when they leave their childhood behind and move into adult life.

The Grief Educational Suitcase is divided into four sections and is made up of a student dossier, with brief explanations needed to carry out the activities, a virtual dossier for teachers, with broader information to provide more context and be able to take into the classroom if needed, and additional materials in the form of information cards and visual resources.
