Leave the classroom, Action Workshop, June 2016

Developing a collective process to be alone in the school for one day.

The Doctor Puigvert High School is located in a neighbourhood on the edge of Barcelona, surrounded by the river and some of the city’s main access roads. During the school year, we worked once a week with a group of students, the youngest in the school. We explore the surroundings of the school. In these environments, we plan to do some actions altogether.

But near the end of the course, the group decided to change the plan and proposed a new action to be done with all the high school students: to spend a day without teachers.

A documentary shows how the group carries out the idea, asks the other students’ opinions, and negotiates with the management, teaching staff and families until the action is carried out.
