The last few years have seen Catalonia experiencing a new impetus for educational renewal, with several schools promoting renewal projects that fundamentally question traditional school “grammar” and “culture”. Educational-renewal centres use empirical education, integrated into the environment and connected to the world.
The municipality of La Vall d'en Bas aims to promote the Can Trona space as a centre of knowledge and cultural dissemination in subjects relating to the environment, nature and landscape. The Faculty of Education and Psychology supports the creation of the chair insofar as its main goals are closely connected to its area of knowledge and studies, and believes the chair’s goals held to achieve the schools’ needed educational transformation.
