The Green Entrepreneurial Schools initiative, a circular economy project created by the San José de Calasanz school, was launched last school year. The origin of this idea was to focus all the strength of education on the entrepreneurial skills of the last ten years, towards ‘sustainable entrepreneurship’. The motto of the project is ‘Be Greener and save the Planet’ and the students of San José de Calasanz Vocational Training School have devoted all their entrepreneurial energy to environmentally sustainable business projects.

In this regard, it is worth mentioning that the San José de Calasanz Vocational Training School, located in Santurtzi (Bizkaia), has Tknika's recognition of its commitment to the Circular Economy.
The slogan 'Educating for a more sustainable world' was the slogan of the conference, which was attended by Santurtzi City Council, Tknika, Ihobe, Ayuda en Acción, Lauro Ikastola, Fridays For Future and other green projects. Tknika then invited them to take part in its Circular Economy project, which he promotes through hospitality schools. Students from San José de Calasanz take an active part in marketing and communication tasks such as photography or audiovisual reporting on the events held at these centers, which will be published later on Tknika's ambitious platform to disseminate the project coordinated by Mª José Barriola.
