The Pedro Poveda Higher Institute of Educational Studies (ISESP) held a very successful seminar on best practice and research in inclusive education entitled, ‘Innovate to Include’, on 7 July 2026.

The Teresian Association in Malaga, Spain, launched a project called ‘Espacio Sal y Luz’ that has the principal aim of addressing the needs of migrants and marginalised people. It does so by offering a space for welcome and integration based on a culture of encounter. Migrants have found support as they go through the process of regularising their status.

Over 20 years ago, a project to help migrants was launched in Cicero, a town in the state of Illinois in the United States. It is the Pedro Poveda Educational Project (PEP), a community-based organization offering various educational programs. Its main aim is to improve the quality of life of its students. Since its inception in 2001, there have been many changes, but what matters is that this initiative has been transforming lives from the very beginning and continues to do so today.
