Abstract

This article reviews the evolution of the Institut Obrer [Workers' Institute] of Barcelona, during its brief history, between December 1937 and January 1939. This institute followed the example of those previously established in Valencia and Sabadell, geared towards contributing to the technical and professional preparation of pupils, without losing sight of their intellectual training. This establishment assembled an excellent team of teachers and a remarkable body of pupils that started up despite the hardships of the Civil War a pedagogical experience of great political and ideological value, even though it followed the unitary and centralist tradition of Spanish teaching, disregarding the Catalan context in which it was to be rooted.
