El PCB participates in the Escoles Tàndem programme

The Barcelona Scientific Park collaborates in the Escoles Tàndem programme, monitoring and funding provided by CatalunyaCaixa's Social Projects, with collaboration from the Department of Education. This new proyect promotes a 3 year partnership between educational centres and benchmark institutions, with a view to increase educational success.


Escoles Tàndem is an educational project –based on an analysis of the “Magnet Schools” in the United States –that focuses on a specialisation in a subject that is the backbone of the schools’ academic curriculum. The specialisation is achieved through the partnership created between educational centres and benchmark institutions, with the advice, monitoring and funding provided by CatalunyaCaixa’s Social Projects, and with collaboration from the Department of Education.

This specialisation may vary depending on the benchmark institution that is a part of the Tàndem (music, science, maths, English, audiovisuals, etc.) and does not neglect the basic competences that every student must acquire. Quite the opposite, the specialisation aims to be a key element for the promotion of these basic competences.

Therefore, the main objective of the escoles Tàndem project is to promote and favour educational success, focusing on three main points: academic motivation and education, general dynamics of the centre and social environment within the centre.
