Education

Spain

Between February 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020, this project was executed with the support of the Community of Madrid together with the Madrid educational community.

The end of this project coincides with the definitive concession  of the Community of Madrid to the FABRE Foundation, to continue one more year improving this project and re-granting its confidence to continue promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda in the Madrid educational community.

During this project, 26 training workshops for students and teachers from diferent schools such as the CEIP Francisco Arranz, the IES María de Molina, and the Nazaret San Blas school; we celebrated more than 50 meetings with different social and institutional actors of the Community of Madrid. With the support of Navarra´s Government, the creation of the iDeas2030 website has been promoted:  an initiative for students and teachers around the world to carry out social action projects that help the SDGs through the Learning – Service methodology. In addition, we have had the great luck of being able to collaborate with such good organizations in their work with the youth and the educational community of Madrid, as is the case of Empieza por Educar Foundation,  Lo que nos mueve foundation, the United World Schools organization , ADESGAM association, and COPADE Foundation.

The conclusion of these good relations between organizations as SDG 17 marks us, is the collaboration with the COPADE Foundation to execute in the next months a pioneering project in the Sierra de Guadarrama to provide training workshops for students and teachers of the centers educational in 13 municipalities. Together with the support of COPADE and ADESGAM, we started to develop for the first time, the environmental approach in our workshops, resources and educational materials; In addition to other upcoming activities that we will advance.

We also want to thanks the Camilo José Cela University Foundation for their support in the arduous task of organizing the 1st Educational Exchange and Innovation Day for Sustainable Development. In January of this year we had very good evaluations by the public and the UCJC was consolidated as a reference in the field of educational innovation focused on Global Citizenship.

Finally, we must recognize the great work of Red ONGD de Madrid, that provides to all its partner organizations in matters of political influence, training and alliances among them. Thank you for opening the doors of this great platform, and for making it very easy for us to promote and collect success stories on EpDCG projects that we have developed.

One more year of project allows us to again offer the opportunity to educational centers to participate in this innovative project with the Sustainable Development Goals as a training and social change tool!
