Our main projects are about Erasmus + program but we are also working on international, national, regional and local cultural projects in order to grant equality of opportunities, such as:
- Awareness campaigns on specific dates, such as women's day, migrant's day, volunteer day, diabetes day and so on.
-Intercultural exchange with people from Spain and foreigners living in Spain.
-Workshops in different public spaces, such us, primary and secondary schools, universities, etc.
-Intercultural activities online and face to face. These two months we have started our English-Speaking Clubs. In these we have multicultural groups with people from different countries where we can talk about different topics.
We are aware that there are a lot of things to do in Spain. We recently started with the organization, and we have a lot of energy and activities in our mind.
Firstly, we want to contribute with the experience of our members, because some of them have lived abroad, in this case in some countries which are part of the Anna Lindh Foundation.
Secondly, we can contribute with our experience and knowledge in different topics, for example, we have members who have studied feminism, international cooperation, or creative writing as a master’s degree, and, we have formation in Geography, Spanish Language and Literature, Drama, Translation or Law as a bachelor’s degree.
We also want to share our Spanish culture, since it is rich and very different from region to region. We have members from three different parts of Spain and some of us speak Catalan. We think that is very beneficial to show all the different cultures, languages, even food, that we have inside our country.
We are a group of young people from Spain who want to take part in our society to try to improve it. We know that we can't do it alone and for that reason we are willing to find new people, organizations and create networks to work together. We found the foundation thanks to our friend Patricia, from Granada, who is already part of the Anna Lindh Foundation. We would like to work with the foundation in order to learn from each other and contribute to take action in different societies, and of course, in the Spanish one.
