The organization is in charge of the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture, and is sponsored and supported by the “Julio Serebrinsky” Library of the Concordia Electric Cooperative, along with the collaboration of the Faculty of Administration Sciences – UNER.
OF INTERNATIONAL LEVEL
Pepe Menéndez is a renowned Ibero-American reference in educational innovation, school leadership, and change management. He was deputy general director of the Jesuit schools in Catalonia, where he promoted the “Horizon 2020” project, one of the most influential school transformation experiences in Europe.
He currently advises educational networks and institutions in Latin America and Spain, and is the author of the books “Schools Worthwhile: Stories to Understand the Education of the Future” (Paidós, 2020) and “Educating for Life”* (Siglo XXI Editores, 2024), works that propose an education centered on the person, critical thinking, and creativity.
