Project Summary

Based on the real need and shared by all partners to emphasize training in our students aimed at social and labor entrepreneurship, we consider the creation of a strategic partnership for the development of a collaborative TV channel between the centers that allowed the development of competences, both on the part of the educators involved, and of all the students who came to work on this project.
We see that in recent years all the emphasis has been placed on the teaching methodology, creating new pedagogical models that focus a lot on “how to teach” and that are necessary but that should not be lost sight of in the “what”. Taking into account, in addition, the reality of the labor market in which the European Union finds itself at the moment, and the need to achieve a future for our students, we conclude that we need to promote social entrepreneurship in our students to achieve change.
José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, says: “Social entrepreneurship can be a very valuable program of change. Achieve better results for the common good. Demonstrate that it is possible to act more responsibly and equitably while still winning in the market; and become a real engine of growth in the EU. Europe must not only take part in these changes. Europe must lead them. »
Work has been done in the different organizations involved with the aim of collaborating to create a teaching model that encourages social entrepreneurship, initiative and entrepreneurial spirit, and critical thinking, and that takes our students out of the school bubble in which they live, actively participating in society that surrounds them.
A collaborative television channel has been created as a project integrated into the curriculum of each of the educational centers.
All members of the organization have managed to expand the training offer aimed at their students, in order to promote a comprehensive education in students, developing key competencies, making them not only acquire theoretical knowledge, but also favoring learning based on practice and that encourages:
– The development of competences such as linguistic competence, in mother tongue and foreign language, digital competence, sense of initiative and entrepreneurial spirit, civic and social awareness (from Primary Education to Higher Education).
– Interculturality and the exchange of experiences among students.
– Opening new avenues of collaboration between organizations.
– The implementation by teachers of projects that promote the development of skills in their students.
– Sharing and learning about the experiences of other European educational centers in the form of reports, news and other formats.

As tangible results, there is the creation of a web platform in which the collaborative TV channel has been published, which is freely accessible and that the partners continue to provide content after the end of the project. It is a means of communication that provides information of interest to other schools, where relevant information is displayed. In this web platform, in addition, the guide – project manual ( in English) is available, with which it is intended to share all the experience accumulated during the time that the project has lasted, the know-how, with other centers that are interested in carrying out a similar project, and that facilitates all kinds of documentation on it.
It also includes a Resource Center where all members share educational resources.

This television channel and the website itself continues to broadcast videos today, and it is intended to maintain their long-term duration. A key action for the future is to achieve the sustainability of the web platform and the TV channel through economic agreements with brands that may help with the channel maintenance budget, both locally and nationally in each organization, as well as at a global level. The insertion of advertising, sponsors, on the web platform may also provide the organizations with the financial budget necessary for the maintenance of the TV channel and the collaborations between partners.
