The Cultural Institution of the Center of Catholic Influence (ICCIC) is an educational institution at the service of Catalan society.[1] [2]
History
The ICCIC was founded in 1952 in Sant Gervasi in Barcelona by the teacher Maria Rosa Farré Escofet as an offshoot of the (CICF). Its aim was to introduce women into the cultural ethnography of those years and start projects related to their cultural and religious identities. During the years of the Franco dictatorship (1939–1975), the ICCIC and its parent association CICF carried out a task of conservation and dissemination of the Catalan culture while being part of a broad cultural resistance movement. It was the first training school for Catalan teachers.[3] The first concerts of what would become the Nova Cançó were organised there with the group Els Setze Jutges.[4]
The institution, throughout these years, has been adapting to the demands of the current period and the needs of society. Its schools offer all educational stages of the regulated education system from pre-school to higher education. In the field of non-regulated education, it organises foreign language courses, music education, training for companies, language learning abroad, summer camps and other educational and cultural activities.
The CIC Cultural Institution is a private foundation that has been awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi by Generalitat de Catalunya. Its founder and director Maria Rosa Farré and its pedagogical director Joan Triadú also received this distinction.[5]
Among the notable alumni of the institute are politician Max Cahner[6] and photographer Manel Armengol.
