Rosa Sensat

Rosa Sensat i Vilà (17 June 1873 – 1 October 1961)[1] was a Spanish teacher.

Afterwards she studied at Geneva's Institut Rousseau and other European schools, where she learnt about new educational trends.

Sensat spread the new educational trends, and in 1914 she became the first director of the girls' section of Barcelona's Escola de Bosc.

In 1921 she was commissioned to design the studies program for Barcelona's Institut de Cultura i Biblioteca Popular de la Dona, a cultural centre created in 1909 by Francesca Bonnemaison which was the first centre in Europe especially focused on women's cultural and working education.

Sensat held the Escola de Bosc headmaster position until 1930, when she became the director of Barcelona's Grup Escolar Milà i Fontanals.
