At Lizarra Ikastola, education is understood as a process that addresses the whole person, not only academic learning. Within this vision, the ONKI programme is implemented as a comprehensive tutoring framework aimed at fostering student wellbeing, identity and personal growth.

ONKI is a programme developed within the ikastola movement and is based on a person-centred educational model. Its purpose goes beyond preventing specific difficulties; it seeks to provide students with tools for a balanced, meaningful and fulfilling life, through prevention and ongoing guidance.

The programme works systematically across different areas of development:

• Personal dimension: self-awareness, emotional regulation, inner strength and personal wellbeing.
• Social dimension: empathy, assertive communication, cooperation, positive coexistence and social responsibility.
• Learning to learn: critical and creative thinking, decision-making skills and lifelong learning attitudes.

ONKI places tutoring at the heart of the educational process, closely connected to everyday classroom practice. Through a shared framework involving teachers, students and families, safe and trusting relationships are built, supporting students’ emotional wellbeing and holistic development.

This approach runs consistently throughout all educational stages of the ikastola and strengthens the commitment to an integral model of education.
