The moderator Ale Sandino, through the experiences of Virginia Fernández, goalkeeper of the Costa del Sol Málaga Handball and Juan de la Chica, hockey player and triathlete from Málagawill explore the experiences of the athletes of the group as well as the treatment that these issues receive in the media.

For the development of this activity, the APDM thanks the Malaga City Council, and especially the District Board 8 Churriana, for the transfer of its facilities for the development of this activity to educate in values.
