Year 2015-2016 ............................................. 56 4 SALESIANS SARRIÀ | 2015 - 2016 Interview with José “Salesians Sarrià reaffirms its spirit as a welcoming, Abascal, Principal of inclusive college, in pursuit of quality” Salesians Sarrià At Salesians Sarrià, since the begining, we have understood that Vocational Education and Training (VET) should be linked to the business world. This sensitivity has led us to be a leader in the sector, both for companies that entrust us with their professional profile needs, and for students, who know for certain they will leave our college with technical and human impeccable education, with a practical experience that will allow them to develop naturally in the workplace. The relationship between college and business is promoted from different areas, as explained by our principal, José Abascal: Why is the relationship with business so important? Nowadays, it is essential that Vocational colleges have a close relationship with companies for two reasons: first, this enables us to work with the latest technology, and secondly, to know business needs and take action from the field of education to meet them. Being aware of the labour market demands, we can guarantee a higher student qualification and employability. « It is essential that vocational colleges have a close relationship with companies » Which advantage does this link offer to companies? From our experience, we realised that companies welcome with satisfaction qualified professionals in those areas they need the most. For example, we are currently asked for industrial mechanics with knowledge of robotics, since most production processes are automated. Salesians Sarrià has integrated robotics in both Electrics and Mechanics cycles, profiles that are highly demanded. In addition, companies that collaborate with our college have preferred access to our Career Service for qualified graduates. PRESENTATION During the 2015-2016 academic year, we have made a great organisational effort and have achieved that 90% of our cycles can be followed through a Dual VET system (Apprenticeships) by those students who want to. A fact that both students and companies find very positive. Let’s talk about students ... what does this Dual VET system new model offer them? Students are the main beneficiaries of Dual VET as it enables them to learn the profession empirically by practising some hours in a company with a paid internship. This way, the student acquires a real prospect of the professional world which facilitates the transition to employment. What are the main education news for the next academic year? As we mentioned before, our college is very sensitive to labour market demands, so as to adjust our students’ education to real needs. This is why we review and upgrade our educational offering every year, if necessary. Next year 1617 we will launch three new Vocational Training cycles. In Graphic Arts, a Higher-Level Vocational Education, we’ll have the new programme “Design and Graphic Production Management” which will be offered in the 2x3 mode and will give students the most complete qualification they can get. We will also add the “Industrial Mechatronics” cycle in the 2x3 mode, in order to respond to the companies’ demand for profiles specialising in this field. As for Middle-Level Vocational Education, we offer a new programme: “Care to People in a Situation of Dependency”, with which we aim at extending our offering to the service sector, which is one of the main engines of our economy. All these news are for the field of Vocational Training... What about High School degrees? Here, the biggest news for the year 2016-2017 is that we will offer the International Baccalaureate (IB®), which aims at educating people that have an international mind so that they can acquire a high level of responsability both at a personal and a social level. on in the InnovaFP programme, promoted by the Catalan Education Department. Through this programme, our students develop real projects for the companies that need them. At the beginning of the year we organized an event to present our Services Charter to companies, which precisely wants to promote and maximize the relationship between our college and business to share knowledge and take advantage of it for both parties. Which is the college social committement? Salesians Sarrià stands firm in its spirit as a welcoming, inclusive college, in pursuit of quality. We are a Christian college, which has the vocation of social service as one of its foundational values. This is why education in solidarity and social committement is a key element. This vocation is translated in specific lines of action. In our closer surroundings, I would highlight the project We Revise Together, a volunteering scholastic reinforcement for children from Sarrià in collaboration with Social Services. At an international level, we take part in the project Share The Light, with an English Salesian college. It is a cooperation project in Zambia we perform at a reception center for orphan girls which is managed by Salesian nuns. Finally, as a result of our corporate social responsability, we also offer a wide educational programme to all our staff, as well as choices to ease their family life reconciliation. For instance, we offer a summer school for the children of all our employees, which is managed by Salesian Youth Movement instructors, which has more participants every year. « Language learning is present in all of our programmes » What are the main projects Salesians Sarrià is currently working on? We are committed to a borderless education. We have a clear international vocation and language learning is present in all our programmes. In this regard, every year we organize different exchange programmes with European colleges and offer the possibility of doing internships in foreign companies. We also work to boost innovation. We implant critical thinking, quality work culture and the entrepreneurial spirit that characterises us. An example of this is our participati- 5 6 SALESIANS SARRIÀ | 2015 - 2016 OUR COLLEGE Our College With over 130 years of history, Salesians Sarrià is a pioneer in quality teaching, which offers its experience to post-compulsory education: the Spanish Baccalaureate and Vocational Education and Training (VET). We work every day to be able to respond to the needs of young people, in a family atmosphere and through a friendly and direct treatment. In this line, and following St. John Bosco’s style, we pay special attention to build an educational relationship of trust that allows us to accompany each of our students in their growth process. Our aim is to promote a new professional model with a consolidated technical training and both transversal values and skills that companies increasingly value. Not only do we want to teach professionals, but also autonomous individuals that are responsible for their work. One of our most important work lines is the implementation of the Dual VET system, since we understand the importance to be in constant contact with the companies and organizations to work together in the students’ training process. On the other hand, as for Baccalaureate, we believe the application of new methodologies and resources to be essential to work in the classroom, giving a key role to languages and TAC in the learning process of our students. • We issue professional certifications complementary to formal qualifi- Salesians Sarrià, a reference centre cations. • We offer an innovative educational action model based on the relationship between the student and business. • We have an International Relations department which coordinates intnernships and stays in different European countries. • We offer professional paths between Middle-Level VET cycles, Baccalaureate, Higher-Level VET cycles and Engeenering degrees at EUSS (Escola Universitària Salesiana de Sarrià). • We provide students and families with a psycho-pedagogical attention and guidance service. • We have a Job Pool for students and alumni. To achieve these goals, we have a team of enthusiastic educators who put their knowledge and technique at the disposal of the integral growth of each student. We are committed to a clear regulatory system that promotes respect for everybody’s rights and duties and we offer tutoring and attention to diversity plans, guaranteeing personalised attention to students. Teachers, service staff and students together, we build a big family, within and outside the classroom. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME | OUR COLLEGE Our Pastoral Programme We introduce you the Annual Educational Pastoral Programme (PEPA) which states that our college, as a priviledged educational facility, plans to go beyond formal teaching, as it pursues a comprehensive education for the individual: values, attitudes, skills, a deep understanding of life and trascendence, etc. The role model to which we aspire is defined from the times of Don Bosco in the Preventive System: the honest citizen and the good Christian. College must therefore be a place for constant innovation as well as educational and evangelizing research at the service of the young and society as a whole. « We pursue a comprehensive To this end, we work to provide our students with a high quality theoretical and technical education in order to become competent professionals, while ensuring a solid human training which will help them complete their maturity process. We propose to work together to help our college become a space that enables the maturity of the search for the meaning of life through the experience of faith. education for the individual beyond formal teaching » In this new academic year, from Salesians Sarrià we want to help build a fairer and more supportive society by promoting different activities that help spread these values. That is why our educational activities throughout the year will have a common theme expressed in the motto “BEAT!” (“BATEGA!”). Against the temptations of falling into passivity, routine and superficiality, we invite you to live with intensity from creativity and innovation, looking at life with depth. To beat is to set a genuine and unique rythm, to live our desires and dreams passionately, to feel full of life and to want to spread this life to others. To beat is feeling the eyes of God in our lives, it is to put faith and hope to the minor difficulties that want to paralyze us. You are young, starting from scratch, live with passion… BEAT! College students take part in different solidarity activities during the year. 7 8 SALESIANS SARRIÀ | 2015 - 2016 A Sustainable College We know a better future also depends on us and this is why we want to contribute to building a culture of sustainability with the help of everyone being part of our college. « We promote the education community’s involvement in improving the environment » Salesians Sarrià is certified as escola+sostenible, a recognition that encourages participation and the active implication of the educational community so as to improve the environment by adding educational values for sustainability in all the aspects of the life in our college. Salesians Sarrià’s Sustainability Plan intends to foster knowledge of nature and the main dangers it faces, to encourage the respect for natural wealth and the willingness to preserve it, and act in a respectful way with the environment. This year we will continue with the implementation of the following improvement measures both within the college and in its surroundings, as well as new ones: • Follow-up of the Observatory for Sustainability’s activity, a place for reflexion consisting of teachers, non-teaching staff and students. Salesians Sarrià promotes projects that are respectful with the environment • Performance of activities arising from our committement as a more sustainable college (escola+sostenible). • Working with sustainability in every module or subject, as well as in every tutoring session. • Paper saving while sending information to families via e-mail. • Consolidation of public transportation use during visits. • Encourage sustainable habits and responsible behaviour (two-sided printing for projects, waste recycling, sustainable packaging, promotion material, etc.). • Addition of companies having sustainable-related initiatives in technical visits. • Establishment of a sustainability and solidarity protocol for the different college parties and all the activities by the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM). • Sustainable waste management both at a domestic and at an industrial level. • Expert consultation on power saving (efficient heating, heat insulation...) EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME | OUR COLLEGE A Supportive College In a global crisis scenario, we consider that our role as an education centre is to approach our education community to the deep meaning of solidarity as a value. As a Christian college, we understand the fraternal and charitative dimension of helping others, which makes us understand solidarity as the fair distribution of goods and social justice. We believe, then, that the value of solidarity cannot be just worked during a specific moment of the year or during a particular campaign, but our aim is for it to become a transversal element during life in the centre: it is the way to understand the relationship with others which is materialised in several activities and life options. In this line, during the year we have managed some solidarity initiatives with the implication of the whole education community. Among the most relevant activities there are: • We Revise Together: Project, through which we offer children from the neighborhood a place to study and spare time everyday. The value of solidarity is worked during the whole year. • TheBoscoRun to raise funds for the We Revise Together project. • Two blood donation campaings during the academic year. • Selling of Intermon Oxfam Fair Trade products and charity cakes. • Collaboration with the NGO VOLS thanks to the funds raised with the sale of artisanal products from Africa and Latin America. • Charity chocolate, which proceeds will be earmarked for the Share The Light project. • Sensitisation tutoring, conferences and exhibitions. • Charity football and basketball games. • Food collection to be sent to the Food Bank from the social dining Assís, in the neighbourhood of Sarrià. • SUMMER BEAT musical charity performance to contribute to the college solidarity fund. Solidarity Projects at Salesians Sarrià What is We Revise Together? Our college aims at offering a space for conviviality, education and entertainment addressed mainly to postgraduate students from the third cycle of Primary School to the the first cycle of Secondary School from Sarrià. With We Revise Together, children have an educational and leisure place after school. Besides doing homework and reviewing, the kids enjoy their spare time and a healthy snack at the school facilities. We Revise Together Project was born from the collaboration between the Social Services Center from the District of Sarrià and Salesians Sarrià, with the support of volunteer instructors and former Salesians students. Cooperation Project in Zambia Two of our teachers have travelled to Zambia to discover the initiative that Daughters of Mary Help of Christians carry out in this country and they had the opportunity to witness the huge impact their teaching programme has. The English Salesian College Farnborough already works closely with this project. 9 10 SALESIANS SARRIÀ | 2015 - 2016 A Healthier College Our college is a strategic place to promote the adoption of healthy behaviors. For this reason, Salesians Sarrià wanted to join the network of colleges that are part of the program FEM SALUT promoted by the Public Health Agency of Barcelona. « Salesians Sarrià is part of the FEM SALUT programme, which aims at promoting healthy behaviour at school » This plan is based on the participation and commitment of the entire education community, from teachers, administrative and services staff to students and their families. And it is materialized in the development of activities in the center so as to achieve a healthier environment through a methodology that allows students themselves to be responsible for their attitude. In order to analyse the projects that had been launched in this area and to identify potential improvements, last year we created parent, student, and teaching and non-teaching staff committees. After obtaining their proposals, we analysed them and we decided to priorize initiatives in the field of physical, emotional and mental health for 2015-2016. Our education community is committed to achieveing a healthier environment. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS | OUR COLLEGE International Relations At Salesians Sarrià we work every year to encourage the internationalisation of our education community through the participation in international projects and the promotion of English, French and German in our study programme. Our Students Students have the opportunity to take part in exchange programmes in foreign colleges. An enriching experience both personally and academically, which opens the door either to new cultures and new ways of interacting, and provides the necessary tools to understand an increasingly complex globalised world. hese exchanges are performed during two school periods, going abroad and welcoming others at home by our students. « We encourage knowledge,culture and experience exchange » The demand for these exchange programs has registered a steady growth in recent years and demonstrates the importance of learning another language to communicate properly and in a way to be understood beyond our borders. Vocational Education and Training students can take part in internships in the working places (FCT) at European companies with the Erasmus + programme. This year, Vocational Education and Training students at the Administrative Management CFGM and at the Administrative and Finance CFGS will participate in the 22nd International Trade Fair of Students Firms 2016, to be held in Prague. Besides exchanges, we prepare students for Cambridge’s official exams. Our Team The International Relations department participants in the educational tasks to provide students with a comprehensive preparation, which includes both the technical resources and human training that ensure them a good starting point in the labour and academic European market. Among the tasks performed by this department, there is the organisation of our college staff training in English and the teaching of some units of the curriculum in this language; the organization of Baccalaureate exchanges with English, French and German colleges, as well as the Vocational Education and Training exchanges in different European colleges. It is also responsible for managing training programmes in European companies and for the reception and coordination of language assistants. The year 2015-2016 our college will offer the following student exchange programmes: • Salesian College Farnborough, England • Macclesfield College, England • Dürer Gymnasium de Nuremberg, Germany • Fritz-Winter-Gesamtschule, Germany • Lycée Felix Le Dantec de Lannion, France 11 12 SALESIANS SARRIÀ | 2015 - 2016 Compilation of our Exchange Programmes: INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS | OUR COLLEGE Cooperation Project in Zambia One of the international projects in which our college has participated this year has taken place in Zambia, a country where two Salesians Sarrià teachers travelled to assess the possibility of cooperating with the initiative developed in this country by the Daughers of Mary Help of Christians. The Salesian College Farnborough (England) - with which we have a special bond because we offer student exchange from 13 years ago- already works closely with the project. Since childhood, their students are involved in several tasks aimed to collaborate on this project, known as Share the light, either to obtain financial resources as well as working in situ, as each summer a group of Baccalaureate students travels to Zambia. This year we were invited to accompany them to get first hand knowledge about the actions being carried out and to assess the possibility to participate. The proposal was interesting to us, and our professors Ricardo Gámez, head of the Mechanical and Automotive department, and Marta Pujol, head of the Psychological Counseling service for Higher-Level VET, traveled to Zambia for 7 days and were able to closely know the communities Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco have at Mazabula, known as City of Joy, and at Lusaka, called City of Hope. During the trip, our teachers could see Zambia’s povertystricken population, and the importance of the work carried out by Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco’s community, as well as the work still left to do. The two of them highlight the experience as very positive, both personally and from the educational perspective, as they have seen the initiative also has a great impact on students. From now on, we must analyse in depth if we can collaborate with this important project. Salesians Sarrià travelled to Zambia to discover the work of the Salesian Sisters 13 14 SALESIANS SARRIÀ | 2015 - 2016 The Best Way to Practice English This year Salesians Sarrià has the help of seven language assistants who will support English language training for our students and teachers.

One of the things I like the most is that all the students are very friendly and are eager to learn.” Michaela Hollá 23 years old – Slovakia “Teaching is a challenge to me, because at University I studied International Economics and Business.

Salesians Sarrià offers its experience to post-compulsory education, with a wide range of Baccalaureate and Vocational Education and Training programmes. Vocational Training is part of the courses students can take after achieving the Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) diploma from the age of 16 on. It is organised in Middle-Level and Higher-Level VET cycles This educational modality seeks to qualify students for the tasks associated with a profession and provides a first theoretical part at the educational center and a second phase consisting of practical training in the workplace. There is also the Dual VET (Apprenticeships) system that allows students to combine their education at college with professional activity, working for a company which is related to the studies that are studying. Thus, the student will achieve part of learning in a practical way and through its work in the chosen company. Once the ESO diploma is obtained, the other academic output that students can choose is the Baccaulareate. It takes two years and is usually studied between the ages of 16 and 18.

COLLEGE-BUSINESS | OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH BUSINESS Pol Caparrós CFGM in Microcomputing systems and networks Student «The Dual VET system gives us experience and knowledge in a real work situation in the workplace. This project allows us to work like a regular employee in a company, learning to live with colleagues and gain experience in exchange for remuneration. Working as part as our education and receiving remuneration for your work is a challenge and a great motivation. In our case, we are learning how to communicate and treat a customer / user politely and professionally. Like most of us, at the beginning, the students had no idea how to answer a call, but gradually we’ve earned experience in how to treat a client easily and fluently». Miquel Garcia Dual VET Tutor «My experience as a tutor is very positive. Our students come at a very young age, starting the first Middle-level year very nervously and with obvious uncertainty and ignorance about the profession they want to learn. Day by day they improve their education and there comes a time when they have to demonstrate their knowledge and competence in business practices. The first days are tough, with morning classes and staying in companies in the afternoon. But students quickly adapt, they see the reality of the workplace, the meaning of many the activities they do in class and they benefit more fom free time and improve work and organization capabilities. This attitude is greatly appreciated by the company, which generally offers employment contracts to students after their training in the workplace. It is very rewarding for teachers and parents to participate in boys and girls maturing process, to observe their commitment to a well done job, and a large gain in autonomy, responsibility and professionalism». Sergi Luque Company -Talleres Autolica Tutor «The basis of competitiveness and business world transformation in this country should be based on education and I find no better way than the Dual formula. It is important that this does not serve only to be full of ourselves without leading us anywhere. My experience as a tutor in such modality, tells me that with well-aimed and prepared students like the ones we have, the transfer college-business is simple. We wish and hope that this collaboration will go further and that we do not relax for a second. 27 28 SALESIANS SARRIÀ | 2015 - 2016 Careers Service One of Salesians Sarrià’s primary objectives, in addition to providing technical training and human quality, is for our students to be employed after the completion of their studies.

Enzo Ferrari, fundador de la escudería Ferrari, sostenía que había que conocer en profundidad al coche para comprender el mundo de la automoción. Idea que comparte Joan Lara, uno de los 267 estudiantes que este año cursa un ciclo de formación profesional de automoción en Catalunya. A Lara, de 22 años, siempre le ha gustado el mundo del motor, por eso estudia el grado medio de electromecánica de vehículos automóviles en el Institut Caparrella de Lleida, uno de los centros donde ya se aplica la formación profesional dual. Está en el segundo curso, tres días acude al instituto para realizar clases teóricas, y dos días trabaja en el taller Mecá- nica Azul, donde ya se siente como un trabajador más. Lara cambia bombonas de suspensión, realiza reglajes, cambio de inyectores, entre otras funciones, bajo la supervisión de un tutor que “ya me ha dado mi propio carro de herramientas para que trabaje a mi ritmo, lo cual significa que la empresa cada vez confía más en mí”, explica Lara emocionado. “Estoy aprendiendo con profesionales del sector y al mismo tiempo gano un sueldo –cobra Estudiante de carrocería del Institut La Guineuta de Barcelona IES LA GUINEUETA [CENTRO DE FORMACIÓN PROFESIONAL DE AUTOMOCIÓN] Con el objetivo de crear sinergias con las empresas del sector del motor, la Generalitat de Catalunya inauguró el pasado mes de marzo el Centro de Formación Profesional de Automoción en Martorell. En las instalaciones se impartirá una amplia oferta formativa vinculada a la automoción, además de los ciclos de formación profesional de este sector; el curso que viene está previsto que se inicien los grados medios, y de forma gradual se implementarán los grados superiores. El nuevo centro responde, según Teresa Casanovas, directora del Centro de Formación Profesional de Automoción, “Al peso del sector de la industria de la automoción, que representa el 7% del PIB catalán y en estos momentos genera puestos de trabajo y tiene una clara posición estratégica en la reindustrialización de Catalunya. Además, intenta satisfacer la petición del sector sobre la necesidad de disponer de personal formado y cualificado” “En Salesians Sarrià formamos a los profesionales que las empresas necesitan” ENTREVISTA A JOSÉ ABASCAL, MÁS INFORMACIÓN Sesiones informativas · Grado Medio: miércoles, 13 de mayo · Grado Superior: 19 y 26 de mayo · PFI: miércoles, 20 de mayo · CAS / CPPA: jueves, 25 de junio director de Salesians Sarrià S alesians Sarrià ha entendido desde sus inicios que la formación profesional debe ir vinculada al mundo empresarial. Esta sensibilidad les ha llevado a ser un referente en el sector, tanto para las empresas –que les trasladan sus necesidades de perfiles profesionales–, como para los alumnos, que saben a ciencia cierta que saldrán de la escuela con una formación técnica y humana impecables y con un bagaje práctico que les permitirá desarrollarse con total naturalidad en el mundo laboral. La relación escuela-empresa se potencia desde diversas áreas, como explica su director, José Abascal. ¿Por qué es tan importante la relación con la empresa? Porque entendemos que conocer las necesidades de las empresas y trabajar desde el ámbito de la formación para satisfacerlas es lograr un doble beneficio para la sociedad: una mayor inserción laboral y una mejor cualificación de los profesionales. Fruto de la escucha activa de las demandas del mundo empresarial, la escuela ofrece la posibilidad de obtener una doble titulación en tres años, tanto en ciclos de Grado Medio, como de Grado Superior. Además, de cara al próximo curso, los alumnos de la mayoría de nuestros www.salesianssarria.com Paseo Sant Joan Bosco, 42 08017 Barcelona Tel. 93 203 11 00 ciclos tienen la posibilidad de formarse con la modalidad dual, un sistema totalmente contrastado en países europeos con un alto grado de cualificación profesional, y que alumnos y empresas valoran muy positivamente. ¿Qué beneficios obtiene el alumno de la FP dual? Le permite aprender la profesión empíricamente, haciendo el mismo número de horas en la escuela y la empresa, con un convenio de prácti- “Apostamos por la formación sin fronteras y hacemos prácticas en empresas extranjeras” cas remuneradas. Adquiere una perspectiva real del mundo profesional y le facilita la transición al trabajo. Y las empresas, ¿en qué se benefician de la relación con la escuela? Las empresas reciben con mucha satisfacción profesionales cualificados de aquellas áreas en las que tienen más necesidades. Por ejemplo, actualmente nos piden que los mecánicos industriales tengan conocimientos de robótica, dado que la mayoría de los procesos de producción están automatizados. Salesians Sarrià integró la robótica tanto en los ciclos de Electricidad como en los de Mecánica, perfiles altamente demandados.
