50 married couples took part in a new edition of this event, organised by school staff for families and their friends, with opportunities to learn from experts, talk as a couple and share experiences.
Once again, Avantis, Pineda and Xaloc have come together to celebrate the Quedem Conference, now in its fifth edition. This year, 50 married couples joined us for a morning dedicated to nurturing and strengthening their relationship. It was a chance to take a break from the daily routine, learn from experts, enjoy meaningful conversations and spend quality time together.
The morning began at 9:45 a.m. with a welcome session, followed by a talk from Nacho Tornel, a relationship expert and author of several books. His session, “Communication, Emotions and Conflict”, invited couples to reflect on the importance of communication and managing emotions in married life.
After the talk, the school corridors became welcoming spaces for couples to spend time together. Several tables had been set up with light refreshments, a small gift and an activity to enjoy as a couple. Each couple could find a quiet moment to talk, listen to one another and share a special experience together.
The next speaker was Paloma Blanc, a mother of nine and author of 7 pares de katiuskas: la maravillosa aventura de ser madre: Cómo gestionar las emociones y los calcetines de tus hijos. In her session, “I Choose You: You, Me and Technology”, she encouraged couples to reflect on how to make technology part of family life without losing sight of what matters most: personal relationships.
The morning ended with refreshments in the school dining hall, where everyone had the opportunity to continue chatting, exchange experiences and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.
Another wonderful edition of Quedem has reminded us of something essential: making time for our marriage, taking care of our communication
and continuing to choose each other every day.
