The name chosen to call our group is Brave. It is the name of a film produced by Walts Disney and was performed in 2012. Now, you will wonder why we have chosen this denomination. We find two reasons.
On the one hand, we have paid attention to the main character of this film. It is a Princess named Merida who breaks with a sacred tradition: marry a Prince who is chosen by her father carefully. This Princess wants to make her own life. This plot supposes a change of the woman´s role that the child films usually transmit. If we pay attention, these films appear plenty of stereotypes. Women have been characters dedicated to domestic chores, characters who are waiting that appear that handsome Prince who make them happy and the one that they must love, etc. In other words, women do not live for themselves, but for a man. However, in this film, we begin to see a woman who has war skills, who wants to fight in order to achieve her goals, who wants to be independent and makes her own decisions. With the name Brave bound to the film, we want to express our wish of reaching an equal society in which the woman´s role does not bound to the man. As future teachers, we would like to develop teaching methods which reinforce these values in each new generation, and, as a consequence, this story stops to be strange and will be seen natural and common by children.
On the other hand, we have based on the suitable meaning of the word. We use this world to refer to that person who presents huge bravery in the life; independently of the situation he is facing: difficult, simple, serious… as regards this person that overtakes his fears to continue. From our point of view, doubtlessly, the teacher should be brave.The life is a stranger and unknown way where, first of all, we have to be valiant and confront issues from the different perspectives, in order to get our objectives. In fact, all the ones who start with the adventure of the difficult task of teaching, is really brave, considering that there are thousand of situations where they come face to face: conflicts between students, controversies with parents, obstacles imposed by the management of the school, etc. However anyone has to surrender because the constancy and effort will allow surpass obstacles and reach the proposed target, the objectives will search in students to be critical and self-sufficient. We have to be brave to renovate education and schools.
