Community-driven educational initiatives in Spain and Chile

Overview

Educational foundations and institutes in Spain, Chile, and Mexico are implementing various pedagogical models and mentorship programs to improve learning outcomes.

In Spain, the Botín and Edelvives Foundations have introduced the ‘La Educación que queremos’ cycle, highlighting school models in Navarra, León, and Murcia that focus on adolescent reintegration, family participation, and trust-building. Recent efforts in Galicia include participation in the III STEMbach Networks Conference in Santiago de Compostela. UNED Lugo presented a work model centered on scientific mentorship, faculty coordination, and research projects addressing real-world issues, including sustainability and climate change.

In Chile, Fundación Arcor Chile recognized five pedagogical practices for its ‘Del Aula a la Comunidad’ program, which emphasizes territorial identity and community engagement in early childhood education. Additionally, the Entel and Fundación Belén Educa mentorship program continues to assist high school students in transitioning to higher education. In the Atacama region, the Compromiso Minero network organized activities for over 200 students during FOREDE 2026, using storytelling to connect mining industry knowledge with literacy.

Newer initiatives in Chile focus on administrative collaboration and student motivation. In the Maule Costa region, SLEP Maule Costa organized a conference in Cauquenes for directors from 83 urban and rural establishments to discuss management experiences and the differences between rural and urban schooling. Meanwhile, in Iquique, SLEP Iquique partnered with the Deportes Iquique football club to reward high class attendance. Students from schools such as Colegio Almirante Patricio Lynch and Escuela Plácido Villarroel have participated in training sessions and met professional players to promote integral development.

In Coahuila, Mexico, the State Institute for Adult Education reported that over 24,000 individuals have engaged in primary or secondary studies in 2026, contributing to a state illiteracy rate of 1.3%.
