The path to equality for all

COMPETITION CONDITIONS

RULES OF THE 38TH "THE PATH THAT MAKES US EQUAL" SCHOOL CONTEST

1. Purpose

The 38th ONCE SOCIAL GROUP COMPETITION, whose theme this year is "THE PATH THAT MAKES US EQUAL" is an Educational Action Programme whose aim is to carry out a pedagogically up-to-date, attractive proposal, based on the LOMLOE which, through the presentation of the new ONCE Social Group logo, allows us to work on the values of inclusion and equality that inspire us and that we want to convey to the whole of society, starting with the educational sphere.

2. Participants

The competition is aimed at Primary Education students (years 3, 4, 5 and 6), Compulsory Secondary Education, Pre-University, Vocational Training (basic, intermediate and higher) and Special Education, in all educational centres in Spain.

The competition is aimed at students in Primary Education (years 3, 4, 5 and 6), Compulsory Secondary Education, Pre-University, Vocational Training (basic, intermediate and higher) and Special Education, in all schools and colleges in Spain.

Participation will be channelled exclusively through schools and colleges recognised as such by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training.

In addition, and for the first time this time we are inviting Parents' Associations to participate. All Parents' Associations registered as legal entities in the register of schools and colleges that teach Pre-school, Primary, Secondary, Baccalaureate and/or Vocational Training throughout the State are eligible to participate.

3. Participation categories

  • A: years 3 and 4 primary education
  • B: years 5 and 6 primary education
  • C: Compulsory Secondary Education - Basic Vocational Training
  • D: Pre-University and Intermediate and Higher Vocational Training
  • E: Special Education
  • F: Parents' Associations at schools and colleges

In the first 5 categories, participation will be by complete classrooms (one work-one classroom) led by a teacher. Each participating class may submit only one entry. If the same work is submitted by several classes, only the first work uploaded to the platform will be included in the competition. Work submitted by more than one class will not be accepted for the competition.

Each class must participate in the correct category, according to the year to which the students belong. As an exception, entries from pupils in several categories will be accepted, as in the case of rural grouped schools, travelling circus classes, special support classes, etc. In such cases, the class will participate in the category in which there are more pupils. In the event of a tie, the class will participate in the category with the largest number of students.

The maximum number of participants per work will be the maximum number of students per class as established by the applicable law for each level.

However, due to circumstances arising from the Coronavirus pandemic, the mode of participation may be modified in order to adapt to the measures to be adopted by the educational centres in the interests of health protection. Therefore, in the event that, for health reasons, the school is obliged to divide the class into groups, exceptionally, group participation may be permitted. In any case, for logistical and economic reasons, the maximum number of pupils participating with the groups/classes as a whole may not, under any circumstances, exceed a maximum of 25 pupils per class.

Regarding category F, all parents' associations at public, private and associated State schools and colleges may take part by submitting a single project, to make their schools and colleges more inclusive. If a school or college has more than one parents' association, each may submit its own proposal.

    The provincial juries will meet before 31 March 2022.

    A provincial jury will be appointed in Territorial Offices, Area Offices, Support Offices and ONCE Offices in each of the provincial capitals.

    It is recommended that the provincial juries be composed of at least six members: three representatives of the ONCE (one from the representation area, one from the management area and one specialised professional from the Specific Educational Attention Teams of that territorial area, preferably a professional from Grupo ACCEDO) and, as far as possible, three other people who may belong to the fields of communication, education, public administration, the third sector or any other entity that may be of interest.

  • Regional phase

    In each Autonomous Community, one work will be selected in each category (A, B and C), from among the winners of the previous phase. These works will go on to compete in the national phase.

    A jury will be set up at regional level in each of the Territorial Delegations.

    The single-province Autonomous Communities and the Autonomous Cities of Ceuta and Melilla will begin to compete in this phase. The coordination of these centres may also request a Technical Committee in the event that there are more than 100 entries per category to be assessed by the jury.

    The regional juries will meet before 29 April 2022.

    The Territorial Offices of the ONCE, according to their own needs, may decide whether to convene the jury for the provincial phase on the same date and with the same members as for the regional phase..

    Works in category will be judged in advance by a Technical Committee made up of professionals in the field of teaching and specialists in inclusion. This committee will select a maximum of twenty works that will go on to compete in the national phase, whose jury will choose five finalists from this preliminary list, from which it will select the national winner.

    Works in category E (Special Education) will be evaluated by a technical team from the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, which will select five finalists, from which it will choose the national winner.

    Works in category F will be judged in advance by a Technical Committee, which will select a maximum of ten works that will be evaluated by the state jury to choose the winning project.
