It deals with contents such as work, production and the transformation of resources.

Within these contents, various topics are worked on, including how we obtain our resources and at what cost they reach us. The effort used, how we extract them, how we process them, which ones are used to produce everything we consume... That's a first topic.

Another topic is the flow of exchanges, how we value things, how much they cost, how much they are worth to each person who is involved in that exchange...

We work on the question of the use and consumption of resources. How are we using them and how are we consuming them; are we wasting them, are we using them as rationally as possible?

In addition, it deals with issues of saving and reserve for the future, from what food we consume depending on the time of year to how we save money.

And finally, the management of the family budget. The student will have the opportunity to make and analyze budgets to manage them.

In terms of competences or skills, self-awareness and self-knowledge work. In this way they will be able to answer questions such as: what are my needs? what are my values? what is important for me? what is a priority for me? will I be making my decisions based on what is important for me or am I imitating what others say is important?

For example, when I decide to buy jeans, how many litres of water are involved in their production? What is the work of the people involved in that production? What is the price? How do I plan to buy it without getting into debt in the future? The idea is to broaden the vision of children and young people in this regard.

We work like having self-discipline and self-control: how can I understand that giving up things in the present is one more benefit for the future? How do I establish my priorities to get where I want to go, to reach an objective?

And finally, it is also about protagonism, how do I lead and act personally to change the reality around me?

These are the main competencies that are dealt with throughout the projects of The Value of Things.
