ESC: The 4th Mediterranean Academy for Youth

OUR VISION To inspire and promote the full participation in the Dutch society for all socially vulnerable groups by encouraging personal development and achievement. OUR MISSION To give the socially vulnerable groups, such as young people with fewer opportunities, minorities and women personal development platform that deepens self-awareness, builds confidence and broadens important life skills, tools and experience to further their participation as active and responsible members of society. EQUIPMENT FOR LIFE We believe that a lot of learning happens outside the classroom. And that some of life's biggest lessons happen in the least likely locations. Outside the classroom is a very important place to nurture the potential of one of our country’s greatest natural resources: the socially vulnerable groups, such as young people with fewer opportunities, minorities and women. We strive to reach socially vulnerable groups and provide a platform that helps them develop important life skills and tools to improve themselves and their communities by encouraging them to go beyond their comfort zone. We help these groups to set goals, discover a talent, trait or passion at which they can excel and challenge themselves to take control of their lives and futures.
