Over 500 People Take Part in the Event

The event aims to emphasise the importance of placing children at the centre of the educational system, public policy, and society, recognising them as citizens with full rights.

During the event, the “3 Cs” pedagogical model—Capacity, Competence, and Heart—was introduced. This educational framework is designed to guide teaching practices focused on the holistic development of students.

The program features presentations by national and international experts, each aligning with one of the 3 Cs and connected to a fundamental right of childhood, blending culture, emotion, and learning. Speakers included Mar Romera, Adrià Sánchez, Daniel Abad, Francesco Tonucci, Miguel Ángel Tirado, Olga Martínez, and Ana Quijada. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion featuring Asun Gallardo, Marina Vallcaneras, Marimar Hernáez, and Mar Romera.

The main goals of this initiative are to inspire the educational community, strengthen the role of teachers as key figures in children’s lives, and promote children’s rights as a driving force behind educational transformation.
