Abstract
In recent years, the Mercè Rodoreda Adult Education Centre has developed an educational model that has been recognized
with the greatest award the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science can offer to adult education centres: the first place in
the Miguel Hernández Prizes. This educational model is based on students' integral (personal, social, academic, labour and
entrepreneurial) development. The award-winning educational model has taken into consideration students' needs,
analysing such needs through a first study undertaken in the educational centre itself, and a later study which involved seven
schools in the province of Alicante. This later study was conducted within the framework of the European Project CASE
(Career Assistance and Spirit of Enterprise). The purpose of this article is to show the model previously described, as well as
the results obtained from the final qualitative study methodology based on participant observation.
Keywords: Best practices, educational model, exchanges of experiences, experiences in adult education, skills.
