Trinitat Nova, mirrors wich make as visible. An opportunity to build a global educative project

Abstract

Trinitat Nova is a neighbourhood located in a peripheral area of the city of Barcelona and it is immersed in a transformation process of schooling from a global education approach and shared with the neighbours.

In a disadvantaged social environment, most families choose to educate their children in schools outside the neighbourhood and the socio-educational offering is limited.

The launch of the Institut Escola Trinitat Nova (ieTN) as a new and only school in the neighbourhood (for primary and secondary education) proposes working together with the nursery school (0-3) and with a new offer of further education. It is also organized with the launch of socio-educational equipments integrated in the Education Space Trinitat Nova that turns the ieTN into an educational facility opened to the neighbourhood.

Sharing leadership with the associations and services that participate in Trinitat Nova and helping to empower families and neighbours can be one of the keys to the transformation that has begun. This is possible if the school offer makes a firm commitment to the cure in the reception and accompany of all people involved and establishing bonds that allow creating a feeling of belonging in the territory.
