In order to face these challenges, the “Missão Educar III” established the following objectives: -Train those responsible for School Education in Torres Vedras so that they are able to propose changes in the educational policies and practices of the territory and so that they are able to carry them out, individually and collectively -Provide the educational network of Torres Vedras with the appropriate knowledge, skills and tools to promote and develop the Schools of the Future throughout the Municipality -Introduce a transnational dimension in the educational practices and strategies of the Municipality of Torres Vedras, through spaces and exchange networks and approximation to the approaches, quality criteria, strategies and visions of other countries and Europe -Deepen the territorial coordination of the different educational projects carried out, in Torres Vedras, by School Clusters and City Council, aiming at the union of efforts and shared visions, optimization of human and physical resources, synergies and complementarities
The “Missão Educar” Consortium brings together the Public school education network of Torres Vedras – São Gonçalo School Cluster (AESG), Henriques Nogueira School Cluster (AEHN), Madeira Torres School Cluster (AEMT), Padre Vítor Melícias School Cluster (AEPVM) and the Municipality of Torres Vedras (MTV). This educational network works actively with the mission of changing and improving the Municipality's educational policies, practices and structures, in a collaborative way and within the principles of complementarity, sharing and creation of synergies. The starting point is two major challenges - student involvement and school success. Students' lack of interest in their academic success is increasingly evident and this trend can lead to the lack of acquisition of transversal skills and basic content, fundamental for the success of learning in the following educational cycles. On the other hand, schools are now being called upon to transform themselves into the schools of the 21st century and to create a vision and critical reflection that allows them to respond to the needs and trends of society and the labor market in what are the ideal profiles of citizens. and professionals.
