COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES

The Importance of Complementary Activities at Torrent Adult School

Complementary activities play a crucial role in the comprehensive education of students at Torrent Adult School. These activities, including lectures, workshops, theater, cultural visits, community-building events, competitions, films and so forth, not only enhance academic learning but also promote personal, social, and cultural development among participants.

Active participation from students, teachers, and the entire educational community is essential, as these activities are directly linked to the Annual General Programming (PGA) and the school’s curricular planning and syllabus. Their purpose is to supplement formal education by providing experiences that strengthen knowledge, critical thinking, and interaction among all members of the school community.

From the moment students enroll at Torrent Adult School, they commit to their overall education, which includes recognizing the value of and participating in these complementary activities. Although some of them are not mandatory, it is important to acknowledge their significance and encourage a positive attitude towards them, as they offer a valuable opportunity to broaden perspectives and enrich the educational experience.

Knowledge is not confined to books and classrooms; everything is culture, everything contributes. As the Spanish writer Luis Vélez de Guevara once said: “Knowledge takes up no space”, reminding us that all forms of learning enhance our lives and open new doors.

For this reason, we encourage the entire educational community to actively engage in these initiatives, understanding that education extends beyond the curriculum and that each experience enriches our cultural and personal development.
