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.

“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.”

Geovivència is a transversal Teleduca project that is carried out at the Instituto Barri Besòs. It consists of making a participative video about social and geographic problems in the neighborhood. Some social sciences topics are discussed (morphology, historic memory…). The videos have a sense of protest, complain and with a fun tone. The project has allowed potencialize crossed skills, and increase motivation and interest in geography and history by the students.

Teleduca is the 2nd course that participates in this project. Up to now, there has been around ten participative videos created.

In the sessions we encourage the students (divided in three subgroups of 3-4 people) to make an analysis of their surroundings, their concerns, and a later pooling to decide the topics they are concerned about and they would like to discuss. 

On our side, we informed them of the possibility of working around the request of a neighbor that after seeing Geovivència 4, would like to clarify a small “error”. We gave them the option to have that in mind and the students received it positively. In no time, ideas started to arise about what we could do to incorporate it.

From this point, deciding the theme of the video was quick and easy. They are all good consumers of the internet and they like a lot the “Youtube” format

because it’s dynamic and has a sense of humor. Therefore, we are going to create a sort of feature of a youtuber that will be contacting strangers that will talk about different topics and contact people from the neighborhood.

Most likely, there will talk about environment, urban tribes, and neighborhood association topics.
