Training and Workshop School
MARCELINO CAMACHO HALL
The most significant aspect of Morillo's project, beyond its tourist activity, has been training as a driver for the revitalisation of the territory and the recovery of the village. The Marcelino Camacho Hall has established itself as a benchmark space, where the CCOO Aragón Trade Union School and numerous courses, conferences and meetings from different federations, groups and companies are held each year.
Mountain guides
The first two schools, developed between 1988 and 1991, and between 1993 and 1994, were dedicated to training high-mountain guides and were led by, among others, the Aragonese mountaineer Pepe Garcés, who died on an expedition to the Himalayas. They were of decisive importance in the economic revival of the Sobrarbe region: various entrepreneurship initiatives in adventure and nature activities emerged from their students, which still endure as benchmarks of active tourism in the region.
Skills Workshops
During the nineties, in collaboration with INEM, CCOO Aragón, the Association of Friends of Morillo de Tou, and the European Social Fund, an important training project was developed: the Workshops Schools, which promoted the expansion and improvement of the village's facilities. Dozens of young people participated in them, learning a trade through different modules: mountain guiding, bricklaying, carpentry, and stonemasonry.
Bricklaying, Carpentry and Stonemasonry
The last two workshops – Workshop III (1995-1997) and Workshop IV (1998-2000) – provided modules in stonemasonry, carpentry, and masonry. During their development, important projects were carried out in the reconstruction of Morillo de Tou, such as the Forest House, the Stonemasons' Square, the Museum Warehouse (now M. Camacho Classroom), the wastewater treatment plant, the sports court, the church renovation, the footbridge over the road, and the urbanisation of the ravine. In the field of stonemasonry, numerous works were carved and sculpted: some remain in Morillo, while others are found in various towns in Sobrarbe and the province of Huesca.
Forestry house
The largest project developed as part of the work-training schools was the Casa Forestal hostel, which marked a milestone in the town's recovery and notably increased accommodation capacity. It is the best example of how training translated into a real, large-scale project.
