The program was developed in partnership with faculty from the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development at TCU, a research institution specialized in helping children suffering from the effects of early trauma, abuse and\/or neglect. In addition to coursework with TCU faculty Casey Call and Sarah Cronin, the program involved several topical study visits throughout Madrid. Through these visits, students explored how Spanish history and culture affect the way in which the local society approaches childcare.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of these visits was to the Madrid location of <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">CiudadEscuela<\/span><\/i> <i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Muchachos<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (CEMU). Based on the U.S. model of Boys\u2019 Town, CEMU is a community for minors from difficult social backgrounds. Founded by \u201cTio\u201d Alberto Mu\u00f1iz S\u00e1nchez in 1970, CEMU aims at integrating these young citizens into the Spanish society. Jaime Gomez, local Education Manager, led the group through the community\u2019s facilities, while describing the educational philosophy behind this project of social integration. The center of the <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">CiudadEscuela<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is the school, which provides both coursework and professional training for all. There is also a dormitory, as many of the minors in the community are housed onsite. To support their needs, some staff members are available all day long.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13164 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230524_141530_6F073F-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230524_141530_6F073F-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230524_141530_6F073F-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230524_141530_6F073F-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230524_141530_6F073F-94x125.jpeg 94w, https:\/\/accentglobal.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230524_141530_6F073F.jpeg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The school is surrounded by additional recreational facilities, such as a soccer field and a basketball court, and a space for arts and crafts.

The latter is crucial, since CEMU is organized as a self-governing democratic community. All children have the right to speak in the local assembly and each year they elect a town mayor and councilors. The philosophy of CEMU is to support democratic participation and community life as means to instill in these minors a sense of personal responsibility, helping them become critically engaged citizens.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Through this visit, TCU students examined a unique approach to childcare and explored how this model of community operates in the context of Spain\u2019s contemporary society.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Accent has extensive experience designing experiential learning activities that complement and build on the learning objectives of faculty-directed courses.
