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.”

              In order to reflect on the results obtained, we shall refer to a conversation with Jordi Royo (Geography and History teacher at Besòs high school, promoter of the Geovivència project during the 2014-2015 academic year). The conversation was recorded during the CinemaInfants Radio programme dedicated to the Geovivència project. Carme Mayugo and David Campillo took part in the conversation.

 

 


Jordi Royo explains which are the strategies he uses to start the Geovivència participatory video process.

 

 

During the conversation between Carme, Jordi and myself (David) we talked about the difficulties encountered during the process.

In the case of Geovivència, I have a personal and professional connection with the Barri Besòs high school. These kinds of experiences about self-managed research on the environment from a critical perspective were already carried out during my time as a student at the institute. The teacher who promoted them is Joan Roca, currently the director of the Barcelona History Museum. It was much more theoretical and in analogical format: photo, audio and topographic maps; but the methodology was the same. Active participation from the students, to help empower us through methods of analysis of the environment and critical reflection on everything around us. For me, this is not just another participatory project, but also an opportunity to ensure the continuity of the project in one of the institutes which

I believe has the greatest influence on young people. Hand in hand with Jordi Royo, we explained my case.
