The Resource Centre for Learning and Research (CRAI) of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili has inaugurated an exhibition celebrating the centenary of the birth of Marta Mata Garriga (1926\u20132006), a leading figure in educational renewal and in the defence of a public, democratic and Catalan school system. The exhibition, which aims to reinterpret her educational thought with a view to the present and the future, opened this February at the CRAI on the Sescelades campus and can also be visited at the CRAI on the Terres de l\u2019Ebre campus and the CRAI Baix Pened\u00e8s site, institutions linked to the studies of Early Childhood and Primary Education.<\/span><\/p>\n

The opening event, held on 20 February at 11 a.m. on floor 0 of the Sescelades campus CRAI (see the recording<\/a>), featured an address by Carmen Jim\u00e9nez, from the Marta Mata Garriga Foundation, who offered an emotional presentation of the educator\u2019s career. Jim\u00e9nez highlighted not only Marta Mata\u2019s professional commitment to pedagogical renewal, but also her human dimension, sharing experiences and anecdotes that illustrate her personality and her passion for education.<\/p>\n

The exhibition traces the life and work of Marta Mata, from her beginnings as a teacher to her role as a driving force behind pedagogical projects and teacher training initiatives. Born in Barcelona and co-founder of the Rosa Sensat Teachers\u2019 Association in 1965, Marta Mata was a central figure in transforming the country\u2019s educational landscape, promoting active teacher training and defending an inclusive, high-quality public school system. She also combined her pedagogical work with intense political activity, serving as a member of parliament, senator and city councillor, always with a strong commitment to education as a tool for social justice and collective progress.<\/p>\n

In addition, the CRAI has prepared a specific guide to the collection of the Curt\u00f3 Library of the Marta Mata Garriga Foundation<\/a>, which facilitates access to documents and bibliographic materials related to her thought and career. The collection includes, among other resources, the personal pedagogical library that Marta Mata built throughout her life. It is a documentary set of great interest for research and training, especially for students, teachers and researchers seeking to explore 20th-century pedagogical renewal and the role of public schooling as a tool for social cohesion.<\/p>\n

The exhibition can be visited at the CRAI on the Sescelades campus (2\u201328 February), at the CRAI on the Terres de l\u2019Ebre campus (3\u201317 March) and at the CRAI Baix Pened\u00e8s site (25 March\u201315 April).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
