Monlau Sagrera Study Centre has joined the Compromís Ciutadà per una Barcelona + Sostenible 2024-2034.
This initiative aims to promote a healthier, fairer and more environmentally friendly city.
Membership was formalised on 9 September 2026. For Monlau ESOBAT, this marks an important step in its commitment to sustainability and environmental education.
Being part of this network also involves making an active commitment. The centre will contribute to its own initiatives, take part in collective projects and share proposals that help build a more sustainable Barcelona.
A commitment to sustainability through education
Sustainability is a collective challenge. That is why schools have a very important role to play.
In the classroom, it is possible to raise pupils’ awareness and help them gain a better understanding of their surroundings. It is also an opportunity to encourage responsible behaviour and a more mindful outlook.
With this membership, Monlau ESOBAT has joined the Barcelona + Sostenible network. This decision reinforces the school’s commitment to tackling the city’s environmental and social challenges.
This commitment also ties in with a key idea: education is not just about imparting knowledge. It is also about helping young people to make responsible decisions and to understand the impact of their actions.
Escoles + Sostenibles: a network for bringing about change from the classroom
The Escoles + Sostenibles programme supports schools in Barcelona that wish to move towards more sustainable models.
The initiative offers resources, tools and learning opportunities. Each centre can adapt them to suit its own circumstances and needs.
In this regard, the recognition received by Monlau ESOBAT is a clear demonstration of its commitment. It also reflects its desire to contribute to a healthier and more respectful city.
Being part of this network enables us to tackle highly topical issues. These include the climate emergency, responsible consumption, health, community life and civic engagement.
Resources to help you keep moving forward
The ‘Escoles + Sostenibles’ programme offers a range of ways for schools to get involved.
Schools that do not yet have a specific project can make use of self-guided resources. These materials enable schools to address sustainability in a flexible way that is tailored to their specific needs.
The resources available include the Punt Verd Mòbil Escolar and the Servei de Documentació d’Educació Ambiental.
You can also subscribe to the programme’s e-newsletter, share experiences, use the official logos and be featured on the Barcelona + Sostenible map.
In addition, there are initiatives such as Renova Escolar, which help to introduce more responsible practices into school life.
Educating for a healthier, fairer and more respectful city
Monlau ESOBAT’s membership of Barcelona + Sostenible is not seen as the end of the journey, but rather as the start of one.
This commitment encourages us to continue incorporating habits, activities and initiatives that help pupils understand the importance of looking after the environment, reducing our environmental impact and playing an active part in improving the city.
Furthermore, sustainability is not limited solely to the environment. It is also linked to community life, social justice, health, responsible consumption and civic responsibility.
For this reason, fostering these values within the school helps to shape individuals who are more critical, aware and committed to their community.
A first step towards new school projects
Looking ahead to the coming academic year, the Escoles + Sostenibles programme encourages schools to develop specific projects that will enable them to build on their commitments and take concrete action within the educational community.
For Monlau ESOBAT, this recognition paves the way for further exploration of new initiatives linked to sustainability and environmental education.
The aim is to move forward gradually, making the most of available resources and assessing which initiatives are likely to have the greatest impact on pupils and on school life.
This commitment also reinforces our determination to continue developing an educational programme that is closely linked to the social, environmental and civic realities of Barcelona.
Monlau ESOBAT, committed to the future
At Monlau ESOBAT, we continue to work towards providing an education that is in tune with the challenges of the present and the future.
Joining the Compromís Ciutadà per una Barcelona + Sostenible initiative reinforces our determination to play an active part in a city that is moving towards more responsible, healthy and environmentally friendly models.
This recognition encourages us to continue promoting an education that not only imparts knowledge, but also fosters values, critical thinking and social commitment.
Because educating for the future also means educating people to look after the world we share.
