More than eighty years after the outbreak of war in Spain, and ten years after launching ALBA’s Teaching Institutes in 2008, our educational program for high school teachers continues to make a deep impact on teachers all around the country. In 2018, ALBA held a record number of eleven institutes and workshops for high school teachers throughout the country, reaching more than 270 teachers and thousands of students.
