    The Bernat Metge Secondary School (La Verneda i la Pau, Sant Martí) participated in the first edition of iN RESiDENCE (2009-2010), with Daniel Chust Peters. Subsequently, it has hosted the residences of João Lima (2019-2020) and David Proto (2020-2021). Once again, a group of students from 2nd ESO is taking part.

    /

    Running since 1972, Bernat Metge School teaches compulsory secondary education and baccalaureate.  Against a background of growing diversity, this educational centre bases its participation in IN RESiDENCE on the values of transversal and transformative work, which strengthens the students' skills as conscious and critical citizens.
