Abstract
The article explains the educational experience developed in the Project Education for a Violence-free Society: The construction of a Peace Cuture, between 2002 and 2005. The project works in an innovative way with the construction of a curriculum that establish a conceptual relationship in the theory and the practice among Masculinties, Sexual Preference and Homophobia, Gender Violence, Sentiments Education, Interculturality, Families and Violence and Peace Culture.The research that we shows here is the result of an cooperative work between teachers of primary and secondary education of Spain, Germany, Denmark, Italy and Mexico coordinated by the Departament of Curriculum and Educational Research of the University of La Laguna. We have promoted a non patriarchal construction of masculinity and a strong reduction of the more common expressions of violence.
