Where life projects grow
Who Are We
• We are a Catholic, feminine and bilingual school concerned with assuming mobility as a lifestyle.
• We answer the query of how to assume mobility as a lifestyle by creating a program that includes from environment improvements to transformations in the interaction between the members of our Community.
Query
• After a mobility workshop organized by the Distrito de Bogotá, our students inquired and asked themselves:
• How our way of interacting with others impact mobility in our School and in its surroundings?
What Happened Next?• Our students created several proposals. Some of them included:
1. Training for students and bus drivers (workshops organized by other students).
2. Departure and arrival times modified for our school buses
3. Modifications in the parking lots for improving particular cars’ transit.
4. The creation of a Work Committee that approaches our Community and transforms our surroundings’ mobility.
5. Assuming mobility as a lifestyle so transit fluidity and school interactions improve.
6. Aiming to use mobility as a resource for solving conflicts.
1. Training for Bus Monitors and Drivers
• Training for school buses’ prefects and drivers in charge of a students team who was previously trained by the Distrito’s Mobility Secretaria. In this activity, all the bus drivers and monitors received a two-hour workshop. A document is attached. Several students were trained by the Distrito’s mobility secretariat and they trained the attendee bus drivers while both parties made several suggestion for improving mobility around our Community.
• Students training other students • Some students reunited Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Grade students for road
safety training.

What Else Was Accomplished?
• A mobility primer was created and since then it has been applied not only in the parking lot but in every school area.
Primer
Several students gave ideas ans suggestions and, with the School’s help, they designed a primer. It can be found on our website.

Grupo ContactoAfter these workshops, Grupo Contacto is created in favor of training students in the prevention of conflicts that block an appropiate mobility between words, doings and feelings. This group started operating in August 2014.

Grupo Contacto’s Activities
• Conflicts prevention: some students create campaigns towards stopping several social networks’ misuse and activities which improve a good treatment between pairs.
ASKO Campaign
The ASKO campaign belongs to Grupo Contacto. Several students, dressed in black, wore these billboards for motivating students to stop using the social network Ask.fm.
Right Treatment Activities
• Grupo Contacto, integrated by students, emerges from students and teachers’ concerns for preventing bullying. And they have been learned about respect the other turn and line.
Citizenship Education Activities
• Pre-K students marked mobility areas in their own (at the Gym) so they could learn to move always to their right. They were sponsored by their Big Sisters. Girls learned to move always to their right.
Retreat – Support Team for Preventing Conflicts
Family Retreats
Family retreats are resourceful for solving conflicts between students and their parents in a playfully manner. With these activities communication between both parties improved. This activities emerged from Sixth grade students’ ideas.
Retreats - Pastoral
Coexistence Activities
How to be
Groceries are collected throught Pastoral class. The class monitors lead some of these workshops.
Teachers join these activities. This coexistence activities boost Pastoral class in favor of both students and teachers.
Other Activities
Peace Rally: all our community walked supporting the national Peace Rally. It was organized by several students and they designed both stickers and trasitable areas.
Enjoy the campus!: Billboard that promotes taking recess and breaks outside classrooms.
Community Integration for Preventing Conflicts
MACS
Community Integration
Community integration
Walking in their shoes: campaign organized to assume different communitary roles. The school board and several students worked on school maintenance and shop workes assumed the student roles while teachers were in charge of preparing lunch.
During Christmas season, students visited and stayed with rural families (near La Calera) so they could create mutual learning projects.
Problem Solving
• Fifth graders had difficulties using Primary’s park because they had no responsible adult to watch over them. They created a proposal so they could transit through that area. With these videos it’s clear which were the problems and how young students solved them.

• Colegio Santa María’s mobility is part of its life project and it’s assumed as a path that improves respect for others, how they relate to others and how they recognize different possible spaces.
