Shaping the world
Children entering education today will graduate as young adults in 2030. Our mission is to prepare them for jobs that have not yet been created, for technologies that have not yet been invented, and to teach them how to solve problems that have not yet been anticipated. We must encourage our young people to embrace and shape their own futures and to understand that they form part of a global community and are capable of shaping the world.
At Agora Sant Cugat International School, Agora Pipo and Agora Patufet Infant School, as Globeducate schools, we are committed to the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this commitment, we have entered into partnerships with international organisations such as the Eco-schools Project and WWF (World Wildlife Fund), participating in global schools’ projects that involve students, teachers and parents, and bringing together a worldwide community of more than 100,000 people.
Global community
Every year Globeducate organises a series of international events in which students drawn from all of Globeducate’s schools worldwide come together to share their knowledge and skills, exchange ideas, participate in healthy competition and build friendships. The events embrace sporting, academic, musical and artistic competitions, leadership and debating forums, and a UN simulation, in which students represent delegates from different countries and discuss global issues in English.
Our students participate in various local and global charity projects and collaborate with international organisations such as UNICEF, national organisations such as the Paediatric Oncology Unit at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital and local initiatives such as TV3’s marathon and the “Tú también puedes” (“You Too”) project, that invites students to examine and seek solutions for poverty world-wide. Our students also participate in Sant Cugat District’s Child and Youth Council, and work with the Neuropediatric Diagnosis and Treatment Unit for Vallès students (UNDEV).
Our aim is to ensure that our students are committed to making the world a better place for everyone to live in, preparing them to embrace the great challenges of our time, and equipping them with range of skills and competences that go beyond academic success. By encouraging a multilingual and international approach, our students become more aware of the world around them and learn to appreciate other cultures and points of view. Our mission is to educate young people who are committed, empathetic, respectful and responsible, and who are well prepared to build a better world based upon mutual understanding and intercultural respect.
