Educational outreach – exploring human-animal relations and culture with high school students
On March 2, 2023, the HAS-Hub Educational Team was invited to visit the Rainha Dona Leonor School in Lisbon. Together with the students from the Science and Technology class, we explored the origins and impacts of bullfighting in Portugal, as well as alternatives to bullfighting. The students gave us a lot to think about and presented interesting perspectives on how bullfighting could change, or whether it should be abolished, in the future. Bullfighting is an interesting example of the ways in which human cultures and traditions influence the lives of animals.
