Opis organizácie

YOUROPÍA is a politically independent, non profitable, cultural association that was born from the concern and the spirit of acting for a better society. We aim to bring Europe closer to citizens -especially to young people - and to promote values such as equality and tolerance through mutual understanding and dialogue in different cultural contexts. Within the frame of Non Formal Education, Youropía works in projects both at regional and international level in order to promote active citizenship and social commitment. We foster youth active participation and empowerment of young people through different activities: work camps in rural areas, workshops with high school students, training courses and sessions on different topics: from creativity to intercultural learning, gender issues and international cooperation. Youropía was founded in 2009 and is currently based in Oviedo (C/Historiador Juan Uría, 15.33011, Oviedo), at the co-working and creative space "Fábrica de Ideas”. Over the last few years, apart from other programmes and initiatives, the organization has coordinated several international youth projects within Erasmus+ (and the former European programme, Youth in Action) and collaborated with Spanish National Agency and Asturian Youth Institute in carrying out Training and Cooperation Activities aimed at promoting best practices in Youth Projects management.
