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.
