WE WANT TO
SHARE SOMETHING
WITH YOU: WE
WANT TO EDUCATE,
GROW AND THRIVE
AS A TEAM
Why is ‘working as a team‘ important in educati-
on? Why is it important for education to thrive in
every neighbourhood?
Because working as a team and thriving is the
same as wanting every child and young person to
make a success of their education.
Because everyone, the educators and professio-
nals, the families and all of us who live in the city’s
neighbourhoods are moving to the same beat:
to support our children and young people with
educational resources, experiences and opportu-
nities that will help them to grow and begin their
chosen paths in life with everything that a city like
Barcelona can offer them.

                                                     If every childand
                                                     young person is
                                                     successful, that is
                                                     a success for us all.
