The College of Technical Architecture of Terres de l'Ebre has introduced the Great Concrete Contest in Tortosa, a hands-on initiative designed to attract students to the building profession.

The competition challenges students to create the strongest concrete sample. So far, 11 educational centers from the region have registered, involving students from science-based high schools and vocational construction courses in this technical trial.
This event aims to address the growing lack of qualified professionals in the construction industry. By promoting teamwork and technical thinking, the college hopes to demonstrate the career opportunities available in technical architecture to the younger generation on March 14.
