More than 100 online educational guidance resources available to counselors and tutors.
"TRANSITAR", online educational guidance resources

If you're still unsure about your academic and professional path, the Barcelona Provincial Council also offers an innovative tool to help you make informed decisions about your future. "TRANSITAR" is a bank of online guidance resources, designed specifically for guidance counselors, teachers, and educational professionals, but also accessible to students.

This digital space includes more than 100 materials—such as activities, videos, music, books, films, and illustrations—categorized by key topics and accessible through an intuitive search engine. Its objective is to offer a dynamic, constantly updated tool adapted to the needs of municipalities and educational centers in the province of Barcelona.

During the Education Fair, young people can visit the Barcelona Provincial Council stand (Hall 1, Stand 801) to learn about these resources and participate in various self-discovery activities related to academic and career guidance.

A collaborative project

"TRANSITAR" was developed in collaboration with professionals from various municipalities and educational centers to ensure that the materials are useful and adapted to the current situation in the region. Furthermore, thanks to a participatory process with students from the Pau Gargallo School in Badalona, ​​​​a graphic character was created to accompany the resource bank.

With this new digital tool, educational and career guidance becomes more accessible and personalized than ever.
