Climb up wherever you are. Your path is like a scrapbook, a handful of pages to revisit, decisions made, inadvertent high scores and lucky mistakes. What factors have brought you to where you are?

Orbital Logbooks allows you to browse through a collage of impressions that ten professionals from the field of education have collected over the course of a year in their field journals.

The journey is an infinite, circular itinerary, which we encourage you to follow as you like so that you lose yourself in the different stages that make up the landscape of empowerment.

Orbital logbooks
Empowerment is a continuous, infinite journey. The circle you will see next aims to be its representation. In it are situated, in the form of coloured circumferences, the different stages of the empowerment process that ten professionals in the field of education have defined with their thoughts and reflections. By selecting them, you will be able to see what stage they refer to and you will discover the materials made to describe it.

The different colours correspond to three types of resources:
The green circumferences contain pages from field journals.
The orange ones, audio-visual pieces on specific topics, recorded by the educators themselves.
The yellow ones contain fragments of four focus groups where participants shared experiences.

Through these materials, you will be able to delve into the meaning of a term as abstract and multifaceted as that of youth empowerment; circulating through its stages, from prior reflection to the evaluation of the results obtained.

In the menu on the top right, you can learn more about the project and also access an archive of the materials, where you can filter them by specific concepts and interests.
This page has been elaborated following the recommendations of the use of non-sexist language. Therefore, as far as possible, we have used generic expressions that include gender diversity.

"My name is Olga Romero and I am very lucky to have been working, for a long time, in a sector that I am passionate about. I am a teacher and work councillor, which makes it easier for me to interact with all kinds of people and be able to experience unique, very enriching experiences.

I studied psychology with the aim of helping others, and with the profession I pursue, I have achieved that goal. What motivates me the most about the work I do is being part of such an important process, seeing people who are a little lost at a particular point in their lives and manage to set goals so they get what they want.”

November 24th, 2018

The young person should have 100% control over his or her path to the goal, with the opportunity to be supported by the educator. The goal should be realistic in time and measurable, and he/she should be clear about the steps to achieve it. What tools do I have and what do I lack?

The other day a student thanked me for being an inspiration to him. I didn’t remember doing anything different or special; I just told them that, even if they didn’t know it themselves, they were capable of achieving many things. This made me think that maybe what some young people need is someone to guide them as they draw their map of life and then become a shadow figure they can turn to when they feel lost. A person who motivates them to keep going when they are tired.

The aim of my work as a trainer is to help them to enter the professional world independently and with confidence in themselves.
