PES ( SOCIAL EDUCATION PROJECT )

The Mennaisian school carries out a volunteer project known as PES (Social Education Project), whose main objective is the education of values, social commitment and solidarity. As many of you will know from secondary school on, students will be able to volunteer to help people, whether they are students from Berrio-Otxoa or other people such as immigrants, the elderly, people with disabilities... who need help outside of school. The project lasts from October to May when classes end, normally each student has certain hours and days depending on the center you have chosen to volunteer. For example: down syndrome foundation, stella maris angeles custodio home, Bakuva.

The PES can be done up to the first year of high school since those in the second year of high school have to focus completely on preparing themselves as well as possible for their access to the university. In reference to this university access, the PES gives some noun with the hours you have volunteered, this gives you some credits for certain universities.
