The majority of schools in Sabadell implement intercultural projects and promote the role of migrants’ families in the parenthood associations. These include the organisation of gastronomic days, intercultural festivities, projects related to specific countries, etc.
Intercultural projects are developed in the majority of education centres in the city. Among the different activities carried out, the Youth and Cooperation project involves young people in interculturality and cooperation. The City, together with the Department of Education, provides schools with educational proposals that complement the school curricula and deepen the education in common values (learning and volunteering services, solidarity campaigns, races and markets, community kitchens, and even a project to experiment with multilingualism). > The full list of initiatives
In addition, the Council used to offer 20 educational proposals on diversity and coexistence for schools and high schools. The centre had to book one of the activities with the Department of Civil Rights and Gender Equality. To name some actions: storytelling around gipsy population; the ‘coexistence’ rap, a game to break prejudices around poverty, action to combat bullying by promoting empathy, etc. > All the activities
The MUS-e programme promotes interaction and social cohesion through arts. 175 students of different ages from the Joan Maragall School (Sabadell) have taken part in the workshops, dance and theatre sessions, given by active artists with high artistic training and pedagogical experience. The MUS-E is an initiative of the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation with the support of different entities and institutions. In Sabadell it has the collaboration of the City Council. In addition to the workshops, the School and some of the students have participated in the MUS-E inter-centre meeting, held in Barcelona. During the meeting, each group of students showed the work carried out during the course through dance, music and theatre performances. All this under the common motto of "Meeting Places". The project has also reached other members of the educational community such as teachers and families. More information can be found here.
