Forum is a well-recognized civil society organisation active since 1992. It works on harmonising the educational system in Croatia with the educational standards of modern democratic societies, guided by the principles of choice and equal access to education that enables the self-realisation of a person.

Forum’s innovative, high-quality programmes provide support to teachers and schools, children and youth, university lecturers and professionals working with children and youth in the educational and the social welfare systems. The programmes of teaching advancement, civic and health education, skills of non-violent conflict resolution and improvement of school management are designed for those stakeholders.

The goals of Forum’s programmes are achieved through professional training seminars and educational activities, studies and analyses, campaigns and creative competitions, as well as through direct work with teachers and schools. Publishing plays an important role in disseminating best practices by way of compendia and other publications available on the organisation’s web site. Particular attention is paid to the development of high-quality programmes for children and youth so that they can gain knowledge and skills for their participation in societal and democratic processes.

The Vilela School Group, formed in 2012, on the 4th of July, with headquarters at the Vilela Basic and Secondary School, is composed, in addition to this, by the S. Marcos Kindergarten, Serrinha Basic School, Escola Rebordosa Elementary School Nº1, Vilela Elementary School, Rebordosa Elementary and Secondary School. The aggregated establishments are located in the parishes of Rebordosa and Vilela, both located in the northwest of the municipality of Paredes.

In terms of polarization of the educational territory, we can define, from a perspective of territorial and urban development, two areas of influence (hinterland) in terms of the provision of the educational service. The first hinterland (Vilela and Rebordosa), classified as urban and showing strong connectivity in terms of demand for this service. In a second hinterland, more discontinuous and with less connectivity, are the parishes of Duas Igrejas, Cristelo, Lordelo and Sobrosa, classified as predominantly urban, except for the last one, which is moderately urban.
