Inside, the teaching staff is preparing for a new day of classes, and the administrative and service staff have already put everything in its place. The scene is very similar to that experienced every school day in other schools in Catalonia. However, at this school in Olesa de Montserrat, in Baix Llobregat, there is a peculiarity not often seen: the families who are waiting are equal owners of the school. All can participate in the decisions that affect the direction and organization of the school where their children attend.</p>]]></description>
