In 2014 Specialist in Cooperative Learning and Multiple Intelligences was launched as a university postgraduate programme and therefore a significant number of teachers from all over Spain have been trained after seven years running. The programme offers a holistic, polyhedral and integrating approach, in which Multiple Intelligences theory play a central role. It has provided participants with a wide repertoire of techniques, strategies and teaching tools that focus on the learner, thus enhancing creativity through teaching practice. The programme participants are requested to work upon the action-reflection binomial, thus generating and articulating an outnumbered set of educational proposals in different types of schools and socio-cultural contexts both in Spain and abroad. This article collects some of these educational projects in order to pay a tribute to all those teachers who contribute with their daily work, inspiration and the MI framework to pave the path towards a meaningful education.
