La Salle Santander brings the memory of terrorism to the classroom

Published on April 20, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

La Salle School in Santander has launched a pedagogical initiative to work on the memory of terrorism with its students. The goal is to facilitate a historical and social understanding of this phenomenon, free from political stances. It aims for students to analyze the causes and consequences, fostering values of coexistence, peace, and respect for human rights from a solid educational foundation.

A classroom where students analyze historical documents about terrorism, with posters promoting peace and human rights.

The Architecture of Memory: Designing an Educational Framework 🧩

This initiative can be understood as the development of a specific educational framework. It starts from a base stack of historical and social knowledge. On top of this, modules of verified documentation, testimonies, and critical analysis are implemented. The presentation layer is managed through participatory dynamics and guided debates, avoiding direct emotional burden. Testing is carried out through the continuous assessment of student reflection and analytical capacity.

It seems the school has decided to install a powerful antivirus in the students' minds. Its strategy is simple: inoculate them with critical thinking so that dogmatism cannot find open ports to sneak through. Perhaps it's the only operating system that, after installation, doesn't ask to reboot the brain, but quite the opposite: for it to start processing at full speed. A security update against the malware of intolerance, hopefully one that won't require correction patches in the future.
