INTRODUCTION

It is the vocation and main goal of the Art School No. 1 to reinforce the practical nature of the teachings of Fine Arts, since its beginnings, and it is our duty to work hard to establish a framework of collaboration that allows the development of projects in conjunction with other agencies and external professionals, to complement and enrich the education of our students.

A good proof of these collaborations has been made for several years with the Altamira Museum, with the FOUNDATION SANTANDER CREATIVA, the UNIVERSITY OF CANTABRIA or the CENTRAL LIBRARY OF CANTABRIA.

In addition to the activities organized annually with various institutions, it also aims to promote values such as solidarity and commitment through collaborations with organizations such as Cantabria Coopera or Manipulados Solidarity. From the academic year 2014-2015 it has started a project plan within the Solidarity Schools.
