    Frequently Asked Questions

    Aula Animal is an anti-speciesist educational project that began its activity in 2011. After more than a decade of activism, a small group of secondary school teachers started this project with the aim of introducing education based on respect for animals in schools and institutes.. 

    Throughout these years our activities have reached hundreds of students and teachers in Spain and Latin America, and we have been fortunate to collaborate and work together with other teachers interested in animal issues, as well as with other animal welfare organizations..

    Aula Animal is a non-profit organization based in Spain. However, we also conduct online activities, primarily talks and reading workshops on “The Voice of Animals” for students ranging from age 10 to university level. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in us organizing any of your activities..

    In our educational activities we use three fundamental pillars: 

    • Developing empathy through ethology. We explore the lives of animals, their capacity to feel, and their interests.. 
    • The development of critical thinking: we present different positions and the arguments that support both opinions. 
    • The use of the philosophical question: the philosophical question aims to make students think and reflect: “What animal do you think of when we talk about animal abuse?”, “Can you define what animal abuse is for you?”, “Do human beings cause harm to animals unnecessarily?”

    Our website features educational videos on how to approach issues related to animal ethics at different school levels.. 

    In addition, we regularly organize online teacher training workshops, as well as in-person sessions and courses. If you would like to receive information about our activities, please subscribe to our mailing list.

    At Aula Animal, it will be a pleasure to support you and share our resources and experience so that more and more people become involved in education based on respect for animals..

    All resources are completely free and freely available; most are my own, and others have been contributed selflessly by other anti-speciesist educators. The book “The Voice of the Animals”It can be downloaded for free..
