SCHOOL AGENDA 2030 AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT
Our social commitment is based on raising awareness and engaging the educational community in our social and environmental initiatives.
Our core principles are:
We develop different projects at every educational stage — infant, primary, secondary and sixth form — to encourage and promote the values of solidarity, care for our environment and sustainability throughout the educational community.
These are some of the projects that we regularly work on and prepare beforehand in the classroom:
BOTTLE TOPS FOR LIFE
Bottle Tops for Life is the Seur Foundation’s flagship initiative. It involves collecting plastic bottle tops to help seriously ill children access medical or orthopaedic treatments that are not covered by the public health service.
CHARITY JUMBLE SALE
Second-hand toys are donated to the school, where they are cleaned, classified and sorted before being sold at the jumble sale organised by Barakaldo Town Council. The association or NGO receiving the proceeds changes each year.
FOOD BANK
Food is collected at the school in collaboration with the Bizkaia Food Bank to support people in need throughout the province.
CIS BARAKALDO
“We all learn, we all teach” is an intergenerational project. Thanks to our collaboration with the Barakaldo Social Integration Centre (CIS), sixth form students spend a morning with the team at this day centre, which works with elderly people from the town.
This activity allows students to leave the classroom and take part in a learning experience that helps them grow as socially responsible people, better prepare for new challenges in life and contribute to the wellbeing of older people.
TUPPERWARE DONATION WITH THE AUNAR FOUNDATION
We collaborate with Aunar’s food recovery project. Prepared food is collected from the school and returned to the food cycle so that it can fulfil its primary purpose: feeding people.
In this way, surplus food produced every day in collective and professional kitchens is given a second life instead of being discarded as waste. It is used to meet the nutritional needs of people in vulnerable social situations.
NATURE ROUTES
We work together with Barakaldo Town Council as part of the Agenda 30 programme to carry out an environmental assessment of the local area and submit proposals to the Town Council.
AZTERKOSTA
Sampling is carried out on a local beach and the quality of the water is analysed, while students also learn about different coastal areas and rivers in the Basque Country.
We carry out this activity in collaboration with Azterkosta and Ibaialde, environmental programmes promoted by the Basque Government.
"COLESXGREENPEACE"
This is a new project in which our organisation is taking part to help protect 1,000 species of animals and plants that are in danger of extinction, including species native to our country.
The project involves a series of classroom activities and a solidarity initiative: students prepare 1,000 information sheets, one for each endangered animal or plant species, in order to research them in greater depth and learn more about their conservation. The project also encourages a symbolic contribution from students and their families.
