Escola Dovella

Born as a cooperative of teachers (1972) it aims to provide an innovative and quality proposal in the Clot district of Barcelona. It is part of CEPEC (group of schools that support the Catalan public school) and afterwards goes into the public school system of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1989). Since the creation of the school, the teaching team seeks and establishes complicities inside and outside the centre to rethink, redefine and base their educational practice. Its dynamic and constantly developing project is based on the basic axes of the Educational Perspective of the Work Projects, trying to go beyond specific methodologies in order to provide new answers to the complex challenges that the school poses.
