Education

Learn with Galgos

We’ve had some fantastic updates from some of the shelters about their
education programmes.
Led by Antonio and his galga Abi, Arca
de Noé in Albacete has worked with 25
different centres this year. Their
education project has been so
successful that they are extending it
to include student-parent associations,
childcare centres, scout groups,
summer schools and youth associations.
They are also extremely pleased
to report that Abi has been allowed to attend every Photos: Arca de Noe
workshop, which has not always been possible. This
is great news as it helps bring young people closer to the problem that
animals, especially hunting dogs, are still suffering.

Anna at SOS Galgos, Barcelona, has been incredibly busy getting their new
education centre up and running. Their classrooms are now ready to receive
schools to participate in workshops based on empathy and compassion towards
animals, and children will learn about caring for dogs and all about galgos, too!
We received this lovely message from Anna:

Greyhounds in Need have been key in supporting SOS Galgos from the
very start. This amazing charity based in the UK continues to help us
both on a practical level with donations for the galgos in our care and
with educational resources for the workshops targeted to promote
compassion towards animals among children at the school we have set up.
This is a school for schools to come to, a much-needed place, and
Greyhounds in Need
has always shared
the vision.
