From May 29 to 31, 2023, the In transit event took place: three days of gatherings where educational programs from various schools in the La Marina neighborhood were presented, as part of the Caixa d’Eines – Pla de Barris initiative.
Throughout the different venues involved, the various educational projects that had passed through the classrooms and surroundings of several schools and high schools in the neighborhood showcased part of their practice or a final presentation. These works highlighted the core themes of each investigation and served as a playful and meaningful conclusion to the academic year and everything experienced.
On Monday, the event began in the morning at El Polvorí School and then continued at El Graner. On Tuesday, the activities moved to Sala Maremar and La Bàscula, where “La Veu de la Marina” was presented: the Càmera ON project by INS Montjuïc and Càmeres i Acció. The 3rd-year secondary students used audiovisual tools to express and analyze the reality surrounding them. They focused on the neighborhood and its history. Through this project, they learned basic principles of audiovisual production, developed both technical and narrative scripts, and filmed the footage and interviews for their documentary.
Students from 3rd year of ESO at Domènech i Montaner School, supported by Víctor Ruiz Colomer, carried out a collaborative research and production process. Over the course of four months, they shared movement exercises, expressive practices, music playlists, and worked with artists from the FOC collective, based in the neighborhood.
Graner’s educational projects are part of Caixa d’Eines, a program developed by ICUB, the Barcelona Education Consortium, and Pla de Barris, and implemented in 49 educational centers across the city.
