Lara Crespo García

At this moment, my role is Head of Master FPlaB. This is an extracurricular program for students of Basic Vocational Training of the Community of Madrid, a course for students who are expelled from standard secondary education, normally due to their socioeconomic and family vulnerability. The project is carried out by 4 alumni of "Empieza por Educar" and two participants of the 2016-2018 cohort. Every Monday afternoon we meet with the 16 participants in ImpactHub, a co-working space in the center of Madrid focused on social projects. The participants develop projects in groups of 4, focused on having a positive social impact on their environments, becoming agents of change in their communities. To achieve their objectives, each team has a mentor who guides them in their project every Monday. Each participant has a mentor who helps them make decisions for their personal and professional development. In addition, the participants have three learning trips, where they visit different cities in order to achieve different goals: know each other and themselves, meet other social projects and the people who is leading them, and reflect about their personal development through this year.
