This project, led by the History and Geography Department, involves dedicating a school day to a historical, geographical, and cultural activity focused on Chilean customs. Students from nearly all grade levels of primary and secondary education participate. The aim of this activity is for our students to learn to value national roots, traditions, and customs through a unique opportunity that allows them to express their knowledge in a creative and engaging way.

The educational trip to Colchagua is part of the first-year secondary school curriculum, specifically related to cultural identity. This activity aims to recognize the material, cultural, and natural heritage that gives us identity and allows us to live the present with meaning, through the stimulation of a sense of belonging and heritage, with the consequent appreciation of diversity. This province corresponds to an area rich in literature, legends, history, and art, where students, through hands-on experience, will be able to identify, recognize, and apply what they have learned in the classroom throughout the year.

7.5 – Congress Trip

A trip to the cities of Santiago and Valparaíso is organized so that 7th-grade students can develop contextualized learning about different historical, artistic, political, cultural, and civic education topics.

On this trip, students visit various institutions representing state power, such as the La Moneda Palace and the National Congress. There, they are guided by specialists who explain the functions of the institutions and the people who work there.

Furthermore, in addition to the civic-political aspect, they learn about Chilean history through a visit to the National History Museum. which allows you to take a journey through the history of our country from its origins, with its first inhabitants, to the present decade.
