De maltrato a empoderamiento: empalabramiento | Nerea del Campo | TEDxVitoriaGasteiz

Nerea sufrió maltrato. Denunció y volvió a nacer. Desde entonces, superándose a sí misma, ha conseguido crear un método con el que enseña español como segunda lengua a mujeres inmigrantes que también sufren situaciones de maltrato. Born in Éibar in 1971. She started her Romance Philology studies in the 90s, but didn’t get her Degree until fifteen years later. During these years, she worked as security guard, baker, waiter, clerk, and office cleaner. She lived in Santiago de Compostela and Eibar. Passionate about dialectology, onomastics and the teaching of language, which is why she has been widely trained at the Cervantes Institute. As a result of her training and her experience as a volunteer, she has developed an educational method called Empalabramiento (Enwordment) dedicated to the empowerment of foreign women through the learning of Spanish as a second language. After reporting gender violence, she understood that the responsibility of her life is only hers, and she forgave. In 2016 she was awarded the Gure Balioak Prize, in 2017 the documentary Volar, in which she participates with her testimony, was premiered at the Zinemaldi. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
