SCHOOL
The Escuela de los Encuentros / Topaketen Eskola is a scheme that emerged from the Encuentros de Pamplona / Iruñeko Topaketak 2024 with the aim of connecting artists with students and teachers to create an educational space in which experimentation, thought and the intertwining of artistic disciplines come together.
The 2026 edition is to take place between March and September, with the participation of nine artists who will be running their workshops in different rural schools and in high schools in Navarre that offer the artistic baccalaureate pathway: Peru Galbete, Marina Lameiro, Xabier Erkizia, David Pérez Villanueva, Mikel Belascoain, Mirari Echávarri, Martin Etxauri, Mursego and Laida Azkona and Txalo Toloza.
Specifically, the Escuela de los Encuentros / Topaketen Eskola 2026 will be reaching out to seven rural primary schools: CP Gloria Larrainzar EP de Zubiri, CP Añorbe, CP Santa Bárbara de Monreal, Iruritako Herri Eskola, CP Pitillas, CP Beire and CP Ujué, and six secondary schools offering the arts baccalaureate: IES Estella Tierra Estella / Lizarraldea BHI, IES Plaza de la Cruz BHI, IES Iturrama BHI in Pamplona and EArteSD Pamplona / Iruñeko AGDE in Pamplona, IES Barañain Alaiz BHI in Barañain, and EASDi in Corella.
