and physical recovery, with a special emphasis on environmental education and the
recognition of the important role that the environment plays in the lives of people
and the development of society, as well as the need to make decisions and act to
avoid deterioration.
The objectives of this programme are, among others, the following:
• Promoting attitudes of respect and tolerance through participation in group
activities.
• Helping students appreciate the richness and variety of the natural, social and
cultural heritage, respecting their plurality.
• Deepening the knowledge of the human body in order to develop healthy lifestyle habits, both individually and collectively.
• Realising the different possibilities of using free time.
The programme offers four major areas of activities:
• Cultural recovery and maintenance of the towns.
• Environmental education for sustainable development.
• Health.
• Enjoyment and coexistence.
Different workshops on environmental education, animation, anthropology, carpentry, ceramics, corporal expression, dances, health, recycling, video, and photography all help in fostering the development of the mentioned areas. In addition, the
towns in general have the following spaces: houses for students and teachers, a
dining room and screening room, museums, a library, an outdoor auditorium, a
greenhouse, etc.
Within the framework of the development of this programme, each participating
institution has a period of between 7 and 10 h a week to put into practice its participation project, which should also reflect the previous activities that the teaching
staff will carry out with the group.
