The city of Balaguer hosted the FAIG Project Fair last Tuesday, June 2nd, an event highlighting the talent and pedagogical innovation of educational centers from Lleida and the Alt Pirineu i Aran region.

The event gathered representatives from various educational institutions participating in the Fent per Aprendre Imaginant Globalment (FAIG) program. This year, the participation of 3rd-year ESO students from INS Pobla de Segur and 2nd-grade Primary students from Escola Mossèn Albert Vives in Seu d’Urgell was particularly significant, showcasing the region's talent and creativity.
The fair was designed as a space for exchange and learning, with children and young people as the main focus. They exhibited projects developed throughout the school year, explaining their research and creation processes, and presenting final prototypes to receive constructive feedback from experts.
Among the highlighted projects, INS Pobla de Segur presented “Rodes d’autonomia” (Wheels of Autonomy), focused on enhancing independence in daily commutes. Meanwhile, Escola Mossèn Albert Vives addressed the need for a school elevator, a project linked to the center's recent construction work.
The presence of these centers from the Alt Pirineu i Aran region underscores the educational community's commitment to pedagogical transformation. The FAIG fair aims to recognize the depth of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and the ability to provide creative solutions to real community challenges.
Schools integrated into the FAIG network receive comprehensive support, including pedagogical training, technological skills development, and digital fabrication equipment, such as 3D printers and laser cutters, to improve teaching practices and prepare students for the future.
