Due to the major sustainability challenges facing humanity, the United Nations General Assembly approved the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, an opportunity for all societies to end poverty and embark on a path towards peace, prosperity and opportunities for all.
The 2030 agenda has seventeen goals, ranging from the elimination of poverty to combating climate change, education, women’s equality and environmental protection.
The educational sector has a central role to play in this roadmap, which is both a responsibility and an opportunity to align the goals of language schools with those of equity and sustainability.
At FEDELE (the Federation of Spanish Language Schools in Spain), all memeber schools understand hat sustainability is an essential tool for leading to a change in the social model, giving priority to solidarity, diversity, equity, rational development, and personal and collective well-being. All schools constitute a key scenario in the environmental field, both because of the environmental impact derived from the activities they carry out and because they must be committed to transmitting and extending among students and employees an environmental culture based on responsibility.
FEDELE offers its member schools a seal of quality called “Socially Responsible ELE School” with the aim of having schools that care for the environment, schools that promote values and human rights and schools that are socially responsible.
Escuela Montalbañn has obtained the seal SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE ELE SCHOOL in 2023.
