The choice of the university studies becomes one of the problems that many young people face when they finish their secondary education or training cycles. The high dropout rate of university studies in Spain, especially in the first academic years, reflects possible inadequate choices and imbalances between the expectations created and the reality the students find. According to data from the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, the abandonment of studies affects almost 20% of the total of students (academic year 2013-2014) which reveals the need to address this situation, by seeking solutions and new preventive measures.
There are many researches that have analyzed the causes of this university dropout trying to establish effective prevention measures. Many of these studies agree on the importance of the role of the university itself in the preparation of the insertion of high school students or training cycles.
The main objective of this research is to investigate the possibilities of collaboration between secondary education centers and university centers, focusing on new collaborative models of innovation and creativity in the stage prior to entering university. The most important contribution is translated into showing a real experience of practical and interactive workshops between high school students with high capacities and students and professors of the Architecture degree.
The objectives of the workshops are the following ones: firstly, to introduce the student to the field of knowledge of Architecture. Secondly, to explain the importance of studies in today's society and, thirdly, to awaken vocations among others. In order to achieve these goals, a methodology based on interactive workshops that promote teamwork and student creativity has been carried out. The results of this experience have been satisfactory, both the evaluation of the survey made to the participants and the evaluation of the mentors of the program.
