Second School Coexistence Committee: building better coexistence together

The second School Coexistence Committee meeting took place during the month of August at both CPV Providencia campuses.

In August, the second School Coexistence Committee meeting took place at both CPV Providencia campuses. This forum brought together various members of our educational community to discuss, reflect on, and propose actions that help strengthen a school environment rooted in respect, positive interaction, and care for our shared spaces.

Students, teachers, educational support staff, and representatives from various groups participated, sharing their perspectives and experiences regarding the different challenges that shape our school life.

Through group activities and discussion sessions, the group addressed topics such as recess and play, positive interactions between students and adults, the care of facilities (restrooms, classrooms, and playgrounds) and materials, as well as digital citizenship and the responsible use of mobile phones, social media, and chat platforms. At the Senior School level, there was also a specific focus on caring for common areas and adapting to new policies regarding mobile phone use during the school day.

A highlight of the day was the active participation of our students, who shared their views, identified needs, and proposed concrete ideas to foster a better environment for coexistence. The aim was precisely to move "from problem to action" by considering proposals that could be implemented this semester.

These events remind us that a positive environment is built collectively—through listening to one another, participating, and taking responsibility for the spaces and relationships we share every day.

We thank everyone who took part, and especially our students, for their enthusiasm, commitment, and valuable contributions!
