School Escola Turó de Roquetes

This is the Turó de Roquetes Secondary School’s second consecutive participation in the iN RESiDENCE programme. In the previous edition, it hosted the creation process of Sonia Gómez, with the mediation of the Mercat de les Flors and Graner. Once again, the Turó de Roquetes Secondary School participates in the programme with a group of 1st-year students.

/

Turó de Roquetes was created in 2011, as a result of the integration of two primary schools in the neighbourhood of Roquetes (Nou Barris): Escola Gaudí and Escola Sant Antoni Maria Claret. El Turó de Roquetes links its participation in EN RESiDÈNCiA to the desire to situate the performing arts as an articulating element of the school's educational project.
