We continue to organise educational activities during the school year, trying to work together with the educational centres around us (both the secondary school and the school in Boñar, as well as the C.R.A. del Porma), supporting them in the needs they express to us. We do this because one of the objectives of the Foundation is to support agents who are already working in the area, through activities that enhance their creativity, critical attitude or the use of technology.
Today we will talk about the project that has been carried out at the Pablo Díez Secondary School in Boñar, with secondary school pupils, thanks to the collaboration of the filmmaker Ismael Aveleira.
Starting with the exhibition that we are hosting in our hall until 4 July: Luke Fowler: Common Sense, we have raised a workshop The project is a reflection of the Scottish artist's approach to documentary filmmaking. Through images shot by the participants, mostly interviews with people involved in education, we help them to become familiar with the audiovisual world.
But the workshop is not limited to delving into the creation of a short film, but also serves as an excuse to learn about the evolution of the educational panorama of its surroundings, Boñar, and to become aware of the role played by the documentary filmmaker when reflecting a reality, just as he does.

The whole process has been carried out as a team: from the previous research, the selection of the interviewees (former teachers, former students, etc.), the choice of locations, the filming, to the editing.
The resulting short film is in preparation and we hope to be able to share it on the web very soon [Edit: you can see it hereIt will not only be the result of a creative workshop, but a document that reflects the transgenerational evolution of Education in the area of Boñar.
We have to say that we are very proud of the response received from the students of I.E.S. Pablo Díez, who have been involved from day one, as well as very grateful to all the collaborators and interviewees who have generously participated in the process.
