School Menéndez y Pelayo
institutmenendezypelayo.catInstitut Menéndez y Pelayo took part in the In Residence initiative during the 2012-13 academic year, developing a visual art project with the artist Fernando Prats. At this fifth edition of the programme, pupils in the fourth year of ESO compulsory secondary education taking the optional course in music engaged in an activity that focused on the world of dance. One of the school’s main goals is to encourage across-the-curriculum education and the opening up of minds to other experiences of expression that can help to raise pupils’ self-esteem.

The building that currently houses the Menéndez y Pelayo secondary school dates back to 1933 and was designed by the architect Jaume Mestres i Fossas, a member of GATCPAC (Group of Catalan Architects and Technicians for the Progress of Contemporary Architecture). The building's concept is a result of the application of European rationalist architectural criteria to school buildings of that period.
