Inspiratics
The Amancio Ortega Foundation, in collaboration with the Santiago Rey-Fernández Latorre Foundation, promoted the Proyecta plan. “Inspiratics”, an educational platform specialised in the use of methodologies and technology in education aimed at high school teachers.
On a quarterly basis, this platform offered lectures and face-to-face workshops carried out by experts in educational innovation. It also disseminated on its website educational resources, articles and video tutorials that could be accessed by the entire Spanish-speaking teaching community. More than 8,000 educational professionals followed the activity of the platform on a daily basis through its social networks. A significant number of them were from outside of Spain.
Inspiratics was also the driver behind the Proyecta Innovation Competition, aimed at making projects to improve learning in the classroom a reality. It was also the driver behind the First D&I Competition that awarded the Spanish teacher with the most outstanding experience in educational innovation in 2016.
Education is the foundation for improving both our lives and sustainable development. Beyond improving people's quality of life, access to inclusive and equitable education can help equip local communities with the tools they need to develop innovative solutions to the world's biggest problems.
A robust economy has long been recognised as one that requires investments in infrastructure (transport, irrigation, energy, information and communications technology). These are essential for achieving sustainable development, empowering societies in many countries, fostering increased social stability and making cities more resilient to climate change.
