PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES
The projects I develop at the University of Girona emerge from the intersection of three main areas: Education, Technology and Development Cooperation.
Most of them are born from exploring new ways of using creative technologies for learning and teaching, with a special focus on impoverished communities and schools, and children from disadvantaged families.
​
The topics are (but not limited to): maker education, computational thinking, STEAM, creative computing, creative coding, tinkering, digital equity...
​
Ongoing projects and initiatives:
​
-
MonTech. A blended Montessori-Creative Technologies approach for successful inclusion in Multicultural Schools.
-
TalentMaker. Talent-Based Learning and Maker Education in the context of Hybrid Education after Covid-19.
-
Creative STEAM. Promoting the use of theater techniques in secondary school education to increase the attractiveness of STEAM.
-
InventCat. Imagining new ways to promote co-creation and empathy between schools locally and internationally.
-

​
Within the university, I also participate in projects that have nothing to do with the topics of the previous ones, for example the Raimon Panikkar Seminar of Intercultural Thought, which revolves around philosophy and spirituality.
​
In addition, apart from the University of Girona, I often collaborate in projects and initiatives of the Open University of Catalonia, mostly designing educational materials related to creative coding for the arts.
And on a personal level, I have some literary projects underway. I published a book of poetry in September 2022: La cova del cor (Voliana Edicions, 2022). I also keep two blogs, one in Catalan (Com gotes a l'oceà) and another in English (HackArt).
