On the other hand, Maria Rosa Fillat Salvador received the CRiEDO Award for Final Degree Projects for her Master’s Thesis titled “Meaningful Conversations Among Teachers for Informal and Organizational Learning”. The study offers a descriptive analysis of how meaningful conversations in early childhood and primary education centers contribute to informal and organizational learning, as well as the key role of school leadership in promoting these dynamics. An honorable mention in this category was also awarded to Pablo Lermanda Vidal, for his Master’s Thesis “Actions of the Department of Administration of Municipality Education: Analysis of Facilitators and Barriers in the Case of the Municipality of Cunco (Chile)”, which examines the actions carried out by the DAEM in Cunco, Araucanía (Chile), aiming to understand improvement processes in a highly multicultural and rural territory.
