🏢 About the local organisation
Fundació Escolta Josep Carol was born helped by Escoltes Catalans to give an educative proposal for the childhood and the youth, which is based on the transmission of values from the complete education of the individual, trying to harmonize the three fundamental lines: social, intellectual and physical. The foundation develops a set of training programs for educators; educational activities for childhood and youth, seminaries of debate and reflection, as well as book publishing, thematic interest documents; educative projects directed to specific groups; spaces of search of information canalized from its documentation and resources center and many other initiatives.
In order to make all these projects possible, the Fundació Josep Carol structures itself in different departments: Forca school, training services, Education Services of leisure, that develops most of the educational activities directed to the childhood and the youth, Estiu Jove that has a wide choice of activities for youngsters during the summer. Therefore, the Foundation works to promote the values of democracy, laicism, Catalan national identity, coeducation, commitment, critical thinking, honesty, solidarity, participation and appreciation for nature.
