ESC: ESCOLÍADAS - Voluntariado de Longa Duração

Escolíadas is a Private Institution of Social Solidarity, known by the implementation of cultural intervention projects with children and youth and established a clear mission of supporting artistic activities in schools, as means to promote citizenship and team spirit, and to spread art and culture in the community. Our main goals are: a) Promote social inclusion and the development of social competences through art experimentation and artistic creation and training on students from primary and secondary schools; b) Create partnerships and strengthen networking by promoting and cooperating with projects of educational, cultural and/or social nature; c) Create stimulus and sharing synergies that promote local development of the communities, carrying out our work as innovators and social entrepreneurs. We intervein on the fields of: a) Education, Training and Capacitation; b) Projects that promote the development of competences for a better autonomy and transition to labour market; c) Promotion of actions to fight early school leaving and educational underachievement. We come cross realities that highlight all kinds of vulnerabilities, where artistic and cultural opportunities are scarce, and youth find it very challenging to occupy their leisure time. We support our actions on the Human Rights Declaration, specifically regarding the respect for human dignity, intimacy, and the right to non-discrimination, regardless of sex, race, religion, social status, among others.
