EducAcción

What EducAcción does

EducAcción is a Spanish civil society alliance operated by Fundación Horizonte EducAcción (formerly Fundación Ítaca), a non-profit foundation headquartered in Benalmádena, Málaga, with a staff of 17. Its mission is to build a broad, non-partisan coalition of citizens, educators, families, institutions, and businesses to drive evidence-based education reform in Spain, in response to a public consensus — captured by the I Barómetro EducAcción conducted by Metroscopia — that nearly 90% of Spaniards believe the education system needs urgent change. The core offerings are the Manifiesto EducAcción (a public manifesto the alliance asks individuals to sign), the Alianza para el Futuro de la Educación (the coalition platform), and the Observatorio para el Futuro de la Educación (a research and pilot-project instrument that channels stakeholder input into evidence-based policy proposals). The initiative is co-invited with Fundación Cultura de Paz, led by former UNESCO Director-General Federico Mayor Zaragoza, lending institutional and international credibility.

The underlying technology is a modest web platform built on standard PHP session management, with Google Analytics instrumentation for traffic and user-behavior measurement, YouTube embeds for multimedia content, and Google Ads/DoubleClick cookies for advertising attribution within embedded videos. There is no proprietary technology, no mobile application, no API, and no integrations beyond analytics and advertising tracking. The organization's go-to-market is community-led: signatories are acquired primarily through organic social media, search engines, word-of-mouth referrals, and partner-network communications, then retained via email newsletters and ongoing engagement with the Observatorio.

The business model is non-commercial. EducAcción does not sell products, charge subscription fees, or generate revenue from participation; the platform is free to sign, and the foundation is funded through its own resources and voluntary support. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no M&A activity, and no commercial pricing. The alliance's near-term commercial-adjacent objective is to collect 200,000 manifesto signatures to generate political momentum for systemic reform, with the Observatorio positioned to convert that grassroots signal into actionable policy criteria offered to institutions.
