L’Escola dels Llivis de Morella. Històries de vida i educació rural

Résumé

The present research is a sum of voices that aims to highlight the educational and rural reality experienced by a large part of Els Ports region. Thanks to the life stories, the experiences at Els Llivis de Morella school are recovered. So, the life experiences of both teachers and students have been deployed, as well as the historical information of the time periods in which this school remained open, (1936-1938 and 1956-1974), in order to show and analyze reality of that moment. Life at the farmhouse during the Second Republic, the Civil War and the subsequent dictatorship are some of the elements that are tackled in order to understand the rural education of the time. The aim is to make a contribution to the collective memory, highlighting the admiration and pride towards a people who, despite everything, always trusted in education as the main driver of change and progress.
