The association Pró-Escola Semente Vigo was born in June 2013 due to the need for a group of individuals either to find a quality project for their children or interested in language and the education field. Nowadays, around 100 people belong to the association.
Semente Vigo aims to be a quality educational project in Galician for the city of Vigo, as in Semente Compostela, Semente Trasancos, Semente Lugo and Semente Corunha. Why? Because we like what it’s happening there; because we share the same principles: coeducation, secularism, assemblyism, interaction with nature, respect to children’s self-regulation, neighborhood, and city context integration, and in our language.
Semente educational centers are a social non-profits initiative, which intends to set, together with other similar projects, the foundations needed for the creation of the Galician Nacional School.
Their name is taken from the Galician Teaching Schools (Escolas de Ensino Galego) created at the beginning of the XX century by the Irmandades da Fala, promoted by Leandro Carré and Ángelo Casal.
