Salt is known today as the municipality with the lowest per capita income in Catalonia. Also one of the towns with the highest concentration of migrant population: nearly 40% of residents are of foreign nationality. But what headlines have overlooked in recent years is that almost half of this town's surface is still orchards and pastures. The Monar canal, parallel to the Ter river, marks the border between the built-up Salt and the agricultural zone. Few facilities surpass it, except for a large institute built on fertile land. Located on the border with Girona, surrounded by greenery and with magnificent views of the Mare de Déu del Mont, lies Vallvera. A secondary and vocational training center with more than 1,200 students, inaugurated in 2008, which contrasts with its surroundings by being a large gray sheet metal center with a concrete-filled courtyard. "In winter it's a refrigerator and in summer an oven, there's no in-between!", laments the director, Ferran Maimir, who started this academic year with a direction very focused on working for the renaturalization of the courtyard, but with a different method: that the students themselves build the shade with their hands.

Culture and social services. Theater and inclusion. Two areas severely lacking in public resources. If we add to this the fact that we're talking about Juneda, a town of 3,500 inhabitants in Les Garrigues, one could say that its continuity (never interrupted) is its greatest success.

Information about the CUME (National Insurance Benefit), a benefit received by parents who must care for children with serious illnesses, circulates among families as classified information. The Spanish government has had it under the Social Security umbrella since 2011, but these families complain that hospitals or social services often don't know that they can qualify for a reduction in working hours of at least 50% while receiving their full salary so they can dedicate themselves to accompanying their child to the doctor or keeping an eye on them. They also complain that the labor mutual insurance companies pressure them to return to work as soon as possible and have the final say, even overriding a medical report.

A sociologist, social educator, and professor of sociology of education at the University of Vic (UVic), Jordi Collet doesn't understand diversity as anything other than normal, and therefore, he doesn't understand why it's experienced internally as a problem. He advocates a change of perspective and a rethinking of schools to utilize resources differently than previously. He explained this in a lecture at the Escola Projecte, as part of the presentation of the first Hermini Tudela Foundation awards, which specifically seek best practices in inclusion.

Fátima is 12 years old. A few months ago, she entered a space that was completely unfamiliar to her. At school, her teacher focused much of his attention on her. He asked her questions and tried to connect with her. Teachers, principals, and counselors describe the almost endless reasons for arriving at school after the school year has already begun—what is known as "enrollment in Catalan"—and are repeated in schools across the country.
