Vision and values
EscolaPort's mission is to bring nautical culture and passion for the sea closer to the local population.
Our vision is to be a leading school supported by an involved teaching staff who enjoy what they do and pass it on to their students, in modern facilities and platforms, with innovative theoretical and practical teaching methods.
Our school aims to offer quality training and the necessary knowledge so that our students can obtain their nautical qualifications, both recreational and professional.
- Integrity and ethical commitment
It means being honest and upright in our work and in our relationships with others. Being aware of the ethical implications of the multiple decisions we face and acting in a fair and responsible manner, seeking the common good and, especially, that of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. - Professional excellence
Seeking the highest quality in our work and carrying out our activity with rigor and technical competence, but also with profound human quality. - Respect for the environment
We are sailing lovers and enjoy transmitting our enthusiasm for this activity, which is totally respectful of the environment, to all our students. - Commitment to the satisfaction of our students
We strive to provide the best training and the best service possible, always pursuing the satisfaction of all our students. - Social and institutional commitment
We collaborate with social institutions of all kinds both to incorporate all kinds of professionals into our team with an emphasis on diversity, and to reach agreements to favor our students and in general to promote sports and nautical activity among all citizens. Actions such as reducing the current gender gap in the nautical sector, favoring access to nautical activities for people with fewer resources.
We have created the Port Blau Foundation – Port School, from which we will channel all the social action we have carried out in recent years. - Sports spirit
This spirit that makes people grow in the face of adversity and overcome the difficulties they encounter along the way is part of the attitude of the entire EscolaPort team.
Some relevant actions of Escola Port:
Open water recreational sailing courses
To give free access to nautical knowledge to all those who wish it, we created aulanautica.org. On this website Escola Port offers all recreational nautical courses in open access. To date, more than 300,000 people from all over the world have taken free theoretical courses on this website.
Youth Card
The collaboration with the Generalitat de Catalunya begins to give opportunities to users of the Carnet Jove to allow young people to obtain better prices on all our nautical courses and activities.
Opportunities for people with social inclusion problems
Escola Port establishes an agreement with the Barcelona City Council through the LÃ bora Program to favor people with social inclusion problems in accessing professional training courses in the sea.
Gender gap
We are launching the WOMEN AT THE CHAIR initiative with the aim of promoting recreational boating among the female population and, as far as possible, trying to reduce the gender gap.
Streaming classes
To facilitate attendance at recreational courses for those who find attendance at face-to-face courses a barrier, we are implementing the streaming class modality. The face-to-face class is broadcast live so that from wherever you are and with any device you can follow and participate in the class as if you were in the classroom.
Family Pack
The family pack is created offering a 20% discount to large families whose members wish to take recreational or professional nautical courses.
Port Blau Foundation
We created the Port Blau Foundation – Port School to channel all the school's social action.
