Education

You might have seen the winners of our Poster
competitions on social media. We’ve run four
competitions so far this year and have received over
280 poster entries altogether from the children
attending workshops in Spain! It’s a great way to engage
with young people of all ages and an opportunity for
them to share what they have learned about galgos, too.
You can see all the competition entries on our education
website. www.education.greyhoundsinneed.co.uk

We’re happy to be able to continue providing support and
funding to the rescue shelters for the next academic year 2023/24.
Providing education about the importance of animal welfare, raising
awareness of the fact that galgos are not protected by the same laws as
domestic pets and developing empathy and compassion for galgos will help
raise young people that will in time create positive change in their
communities.
GIN supports rescue shelters by funding education
classrooms and equipment, transportation for school
visits, and the provision of an education programme
through a dedicated website.
https://education.greyhoundsinneed.co.uk/
provides learning materials and activities all about
galgos. Supporting cross-curricular learning in
schools, and available in both Spanish and English
(so UK teachers can use them too), learn about
rescue shelters, what animals need, compare the life of a pet galgo vs a
working galgo, make face masks and puppets, create a snuffle mat, and more!
Importantly, it supports the rescue shelters working on the ground with
children and young people, giving them free access to a variety of activities.
And GIN ensures the shelters have something the children can take away
wristbands and water bottles are always popular!
GIN is also encouraging all young people (anywhere in the world) to join
#teamgalgo. They can make their pledge to help the galgos and be included
in the #GoTeamGalgo gallery, by sending a photo with their pledge
here https://education.greyhoundsinneed.co.uk/team-galgo/.
