Spanish term or phrase: transversalidad/ejes transversals
'Transversality' and 'transverse axes' in an educational context only seem to appear in translations of Spanish websites/articles. Does anyone know what the equivalent would be in real English?

***Transversalidad***
El tratamiento de los ***ejes transversals*** queda perfectamente definido en el Proyecto Educativo y Curricular de Centro. Sabiendo de la existencia de la Orden de 20 de diciembre de 1994, por la que se dictan instrucciones para el desarrollo de la educación en valores en las actividades educativas de los centros docents, y basándonos en el esencia de la misma, así como en el Plan de Convivencia de nuestro Centro, tendremos presentes, en este tercer nivel de concreción curricular, las diferentes actuaciones que desarrollaremos a continuación.

Many thanks

Cross curricular studies cut through traditional subject matter lines and explore relationships of subjects to one another.

For example, a school-wide program in "writing across the curriculum" entails teaching writing in every subject-matter department. Teachers of all the arts and sciences develop and implement a writing program in their department that coordinates with the other writing programs throughout the school.

In traditional writing programs, those that are not cross curricular, writing is taught only in English classes, and teachers in other subjects depend on the department of English to teach the skills that students need to write in all other subjects.

transversality/transversal axes


Explanation:
Transversalidad could very well be a way of explaining how the educational project extends to other areas rather than just education at school. It deals with the community, with the citizens and their social issues.
The longitudinal axis is school, the transversal axis is the education of the community through its institutions.

"Tres son los ejes principales que han estado en el origen del PEC:

*
El concepto de educación como proyecto colectivo.
*
El convencimiento de que la educación no sólo ha de capacitar a las personas para insertarse en el mundo laboral sino que ha de servir para que éstas participe en el gobierno de sus propias vidas con el ánimo de alcanzar una buena calidad de vida en democracia y que ésta sea además respetuosa con el entorno y solidaria.
*
La idea de que la ciudad misma es una fuente de aprendizaje y convivencia."


"Este proyecto se ha integrado como uno de los ejes transversales del Plan Estratégico de Gijón (PEG) 2002-2012, y sus debates y sesiones de trabajo han transcurrido en coordinación y paralelamente a la elaboración del mismo. · "

" Extender en la población y en los agentes sociales el concepto de educación como proyecto colectivo."
"El Proyecto Educativo de Ciudad (PEC) pretende ser una herramienta para trasladar un conjunto de valores educativos a la ciudadanía y para implicar a esta en los procesos de aprendizaje y de transmisión de valores. Este proyecto traza las líneas de acción y las estrategias que sean de utilidad para que la ciudad sea capaz de enfrentarse mejor a los cambios sociales ..."
