From January 27th to 30th, the 2nd Montessori Congress of Catalonia will take place. With this second edition, the congress establishes itself as a meeting point for all individuals, schools, and organizations who believe that the pedagogical model created by Dr. Maria Montessori is the educational response that children, teenagers, and society itself need to face future challenges.

The main objectives of the congress are:

  • Unify regional stakeholders:
    Bring together key actors from the Montessori community in Catalonia to share visions and strengthen a common identity.
  • Promote pedagogical quality:
    Offer debates, presentations, and workshops led by renowned experts to address current and future educational challenges.
  • Consolidate a shared voice:
    Articulate a collective stance capable of influencing Catalonia's educational and social spheres.

We invite you to discover the most innovative learning initiatives and explore new perspectives in Montessori pedagogy.

Connect. Inspire. Build the future.
