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.

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.

“We’re Carme, David and Matilde. We’re part of Teleduca education and communication, an interdisciplinary team of professionals specialized in educommunication in community dynamization in Barcelona. Our work focuses on favouring situations of self-expression and meeting places, where young people take a leading role in participatory audio-visual creation processes.

We provide socio-educational and cultural support to young people of all ages and in very different situations. We act in formal and non-formal educational contexts and informal ones, and we even aim at recombining them. We encourage dialogue and the interrelation of young people with neighbours: the elderly, women's groups, local organizations, always with the idea of bringing the community together, addressing the feeling of belonging and establishing links with the immediate environment.”

One of our projects is called En la recerca del desenvolupament (ERD). It consists of a counsel project of secondary education research work, promoted by Escola Lliure El Sol y la Asamblea de Cooperación por la Paz. As Teleduca, for the past three editions, we assist in the process of participative audiovisual creation project. This year, the aim is to create an audiovisual cartography of leisure and social entities related to or managed by young people in the Raval neighborhood and/or Ciutat Vella district.

One of the first decisions that we have made as educators, alongside people from the other two entities, is to establish three options for search fields,

so that they are the ones deciding which segment to research in particular:

Option A: Raval, all entities related to young people (services and assistance)
Option B: Ciutat Vella, only entities led by young people (associationism)
Option C: Raval and other Ciutat Vella neighborhoods (Gothic, Old Town or Barceloneta)

We think that by making them participate from the beginning in the decision making, makes them feel the project as their own, increasing their involvement in it. We assist the process, but it’s them who have to carry it out, which also allows for a higher empowerment.
