Education Section
Social Object
The education section aims to be a multipurpose education cooperative, developing its action in 3 areas:
a. School education with the management of an educational establishment that will cover the 3 cycles of basic education and in a later phase also secondary education, inserted in the scope of the educational system but following its own plan with a view towards pedagogical improvement, which places the student as the focus of learning, developing project areas in teams with the support of educational advisors;
b. Technical or professional training with the creation of an establishment destined to provide specialized training in areas related to arts and crafts through technical courses and professional training courses that also include the recycling and improvement of the respective apprenticeships;
c. Extracurricular continuing education for adults, through the creation of an establishment for that purpose.

The path we choose to walk:
► Initially we will focus on helping whoever would like to homeschool their children, ot create the Studies Project and the necessary synergies between members so that the process of teaching/learning can be made easier through the sharing of resources amongst the parents/educators who are benefitting from this system.
This will be the foundation for the following creation of a project based school, where team work and educational mentors are the main means of education.

► We intend to eliminate the current context of classrooms with a lecturing teacher and introduce a common space context where various projects are being developed simultaneously, according to each individual learner's interest, as an integral participant of the educational process. The "Aprendizagens Essenciais" (Essential Learing) as per the Portuguese Education System, will be part of this system but learning will be integrative and constructive, born from the effective collaboration between all parties involved: parents or Ediucators. students and learning mentors, for as the educationalist José Pacheco so wisely states: "Schools are People" .
► We also intend to eliminate the division of learners by age group and level and to provide a transversal and collaborative learning experience where each one learns what each one really chooses to know and develop.
See you soon! We are looking forward to your visit.
Some inspiring notes of wisdom shared by José Pacheco and that clearly define what makes sense to us regarding Education:
"Teachers do not teach what they say, they transmit who they are."
"Education is an act of love and courage."
"There is no such thing as learning difficulties amongst students, what there is is teaching difficulties amongst teachers."
"If the way I work does not teach everyone, then I need to learn how to teach."
"A teacher is an Educational Designer."
"A child IS - NOW - he/she is not going to be."
"A test evaluates nothing."
"The centre is neither the student, nor the teacher. There is no centre. Each one is the centre and it is the connection that establishes the learning process. The centre is the relationship."
