Activities 2011
To start off the year, as a result of interest for English workshops, we have decided to extend the offer to work with the CatNova Association to cover more sectors and benefit more people.
EduRedBcn is a networking project of legal training and education for women, young adults, and children in Catalonia. The initiative is aimed at renewing the capacity and improving the competitiveness of our alumni so they can access new and better jobs and, at the same time, become aware of values such as solidarity, compromise, and voluntary cooperation.
The English workshops, along with the information classes, have been requested most by our clients. Tuition is free but we request a small voluntary contribution in order to raise awareness about the values of the workshops and to ensure that our students attend. The money that is raised will go to administrative costs of the project and will contribute to international administrative projects. In addition to economic aid, students will also participate in volunteer work within the network. This collaboration allows us to help the students be exposed to participatory work and networking. At the same time, it is a good way of integrating into the Catalan society. In this way, apart from learning English, students will learn important values of cross-cultural-education. The classes, primarily designed for women, will start at a beginning level.
The teachers giving the workshops are students from English-speaking countries who are doing internships for their universities. EduredBcn works with a professional in linguistic education, creates and coordinates the content of the courses.
Since the summer of 2011, we offer workshops in five different venues. They various venues are in Sabadell (two volunteers), Terrasa (two volunteers) and Barcelona (five volunteers).
All of this has been possible because of the supportive alliances with IES Abroad, FEDELATINA, SAE Barcelona, Casa de Uruguay, Casa de Colimbia, Asociación Latino Americano de Sabadell and BABELS.
