In this paper we reflect about acts of discrimination and violence in gender relationship in the university environment in the everyday life as tacit implications of the hidden gender curriculum. We try to distinguish the possibilities of generating gender interaction processes based on principles of effective equality. The theoretical contributions of this category are elements that guide to reflection. We used qualitative and quantitative methodology. Participants were students and teachers of human sciences at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala. The findings highlight that in spite of "politically correct" answers in favor of the equality and non-discrimination, the practices of discrimination, violence and sexism are maintained. For change, teachers need to be made aware of discrimination of gender and must assume greater engagement and sensitivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article shows that environmental programs consisting of a set of concrete, viable actions, designed and executed by high school students, can mitigate environmental problems in the school and community; such programs can also develop knowledge, values, skills, and competencies in young people with regard to environmental conservation. The article describes the way students are organized to carry out environmental actions, as well as the satisfaction they experience. The conclusion is that environmental programs are highly important and useful tools that should be designed and used in educational institutions to mitigate environmental deterioration at school and in the community.
