On Monday, October 5—World Habitat Day—numerous events were held throughout the Province of Vedruna Europa to advocate for the right to decent housing.
Various organizations and institutions have played a leading role in these events: the schools run by the two educational foundations, Fundació Vedruna Catalunya Educació and Fundación Vedruna Educación, as well as the Puerto Real Senior Living Center, among others.
At El Carmen Indautxu High School in Bilbao, 12th-grade students have been reflecting on decent housing in their religion class, asking questions such as, “Is a house the same as a home? “Is housing a market commodity to be speculated on, or a fundamental human right?” The entire process is described in this article.
This initiative is one of the key moments of the “For a Present with Decent Housing” campaign launched by the Vedruna Europa Province on November 23, 2025—International Day of the Homeless—as part of the bicentennial celebration of the Vedruna Congregation.
Full details about this campaign can be found on the Provincia Vedruna Europa website:
