Fundación Ibercaja is holding a one-day training and support event for the local education community in Ceuta on 13 November. Taking part will be the five teachers recognised in the first edition of Docentes Referentes . According to the foundation, the award winners will present their projects, work with local colleagues in workshops and discuss practical methods for supporting pupils.
The day is entitled Referentes que inspiran. Talks and workshop sessions are planned on topics such as inclusive education, personalised support and mental health. Fundación Ibercaja says the aim is to bring experience from different regions of Spain to Ceuta, build networks and offer practical support for everyday school life. The foundation says it will link the event to the creation of a permanent online community on the Aula en Red platform.
Docentes Referentes is a national programme run by Fundación Ibercaja to highlight excellence, innovation and social commitment in Spanish education. The first round was launched in 2026; the jury’s decision and the awards ceremony took place on 8 July in Zaragoza The award is held under the honorary presidency of Infanta Sofía. The foundation emphasises that the award winners’ participation in regional exchange events is part of the programme’s ethos: exemplary teaching projects are not only rewarded, but also shared and further developed.
For Ceuta, the event offers a tangible short-term boost: teachers will gain access to tried-and-tested approaches and contacts beyond the day itself. Whether this leads to regular collaboration, and what impact it has on teaching quality and the school environment, can only be assessed after the event. Fundación Ibercaja says that online resources and networking meetings will follow. These are announcements whose implementation will depend on the interest and capacity of the schools involved.
The key details of the event are clear: it is organised by Fundación Ibercaja, takes place in Ceuta and is scheduled for 13 November. The five teachers recognised in the first edition of Docentes Referentes will take part; the programme will focus on inclusive education, individual support and emotional wellbeing at school. The initiative builds on the nationwide programme launched in 2026, whose first awards were presented in Zaragoza and which is supported by Infanta Sofía as honorary president.
