The 1st year group of the  Metal Construction Higher VET cycle has successfully completed one of the most significant projects of the course: the design and assembly of a water filtering station for a family farm in Uzbekistan.

This challenge has been a real all-round learning experience. From the design phase, in which the necessary technical plans and calculations were drawn up, to the practical construction in the boilermaking workshop, where the students applied welding and assembly techniques for a real purpose.

The equipment, which will function as an agricultural water filter, aims to improve the quality of water available for irrigation and consumption in rural areas of Uzbekistan. This project is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030), specifically those related to health, clean water and economic development in vulnerable communities.

The initiative has also been made possible thanks to the collaboration of Petronor, which has donated the valves and fittings necessary for the construction of the station. A gesture that demonstrates how cooperation between business, vocational training and social commitment can have a global impact.

This technical and human challenge has allowed the students to develop their professional skills, while working on values such as solidarity, teamwork and commitment to a fairer world.
