We have started this new academic year with two exciting projects (Invisible Stories and FAKE kNOw MORE) – yet another valuable experience and one more step in the educational work we have been developing in recent years.
Together with the School with Class Foundation (Poland) and the King Baudouin Foundation (Belgium) we are developing the project ‘Digital Historytelling’ (DIGHIST), in which digital tools will be designed to facilitate the work of History and Social Sciences teachers.
We have designed the training workshop ‘SDGs and Human Rights Defenders’, which has been given to technical staff of the public administration, in the framework of a project funded by the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation.
Within the framework of our project ‘Added Value’, we have organized two free sessions for primary and secondary education professionals in which we will share tools aimed at making the teaching of STEAM subjects (mathematics, natural sciences, technology, biology …) more practical, fun and transversal.
More than 4,000 employees of the Catalan public administration will attend the ‘Introduction to the Sustainable Development Goals’ course, with the aim of acquiring general knowledge about the 17 SDGs established by the UN, so that they can apply them in their day to day life, both in the professional and personal field.
