General Information
Who are we? Synergy is a youth, nonprofit association whose main purpose is to create a space for dialogue and a multicultural meeting place for young people. Our mission is to create an "international meeting point" where young people of the Campo de Gibraltar can connect with people from other nationalities and cultures. They can speak other languages ​​and can learn and participate in international and European, activities and youth initiatives.
Mission and Objectives

Our main objectives are to:
Promote meetings of languages ​​as a means of cultural exchange.
Promote activities, courses and meetings that promote personal and professional development of young people.
Serve as a point of connection with activities and youth initiatives at an international and European level.
What is our vision?
We believe that learning new languages ​​and intercultural dialogue is essential for the personal development of young people in today's global society. We are also convinced that young people have much to contribute to society and that through commitment can consolidate a society that promotes dialogue, tolerance and integration of all people regardless of their nationality or culture.

Main Projects / Activities

Key actions.
1. Synergy Language Exchanges
Synergy has been running for two years, coordinating and organizing weekly meetings in Algeciras where local and international people gather to practice new languages. In our exchanges we mainly speak English but also support the practice of other languages ​​such as French, German or Italian, as demanded by the participants.
2. Info Point.
The main objective of this new project is to create a platform for information, support and mediation for young people of the Campo de Gibraltar to participate in international projects such as cultural exchanges, trainings or courses on topics such as human rights, social entrepreneurship, cultural awareness peace and ecology among others.
Specific objectives include:
Creating an information / direct helpdesk and workshops for young people who are interested, in which we publicise types of programs, courses and initiatives there are and what you can expect from them.
Assisting young people interested in performing applications, organizing travel, course preparation and help translate applications into English.
Endorsing the candidates of local youth projects organized by partner associations.
Enhancing feedback and spreading of skills acquired once they return to the "EXPERIENCE". To do this, downstream projects and activities in which young people can put into practice what they have learnt. The aim is to create a network of young people in the region with international experience interested in spreading and help future participants.
