Escola L’Esperança, founded in 1965, is located in an economically and socially affected district of Barcelona. We teach students between the ages of 3 to 18, many of whom suffer from school failure. Our school aims to promote the full development of the students' personality, that is, to carry out a comprehensive education. We are open to all students who wish to receive an education at our school. We work as a community in which everyone is accepted, and everyone has a voice, and the opportunity to actively participate and engage. Our educational community is the result of the harmonious integration of all levels involved in the school: ownership, teachers, students, parents of students and staff of administration and services.

Our primary school is located in the northeast of Slovenia in a small town called Šentilj , which is approximately 15 kilometres away from Slovenian second largest city Maribor. Nearly 400 pupils aged 6-15 studying attend our school. There are two kindergarten units (children aged 1-6) that are also a part of our school.  Nearly 100 people are employed in our organisation. 

​

The school system in Slovenia does not involve ICT as a compulsory subject at the primary level. Students can only learn ICT as an optional subject in the final three years of primary education (ages 12-15), however only a few students choose this option every year.  The recent experience of distance learning has shown the greater lack of knowledge in this field than expected.  Therefore, we would like to teach our students how to correctly develop and responsively use these skills for their own and the society’s benefits.
