WHY IT MATTERS

  • Education is essential for the advancement and progress of individuals and society.
  • It promotes the commitment and solidarity of young people towards causes that include the most disadvantaged people and sectors.
  • It enables them to acquire the skills, attitudes, and values that are necessary in building present and future sustainability.

WHAT JOVESOLIDES DOES

  • We encourage social commitment to refugees, including their integration within communities.
  • We awaken young peoples’ critical abilities, and their awareness of social problems.
  • We work to generate a culture of peace and a society in which respect for diversity prevails.

  • The interesting thing about these labs is the methodology that we use. It is less about theoretical concepts, and more about the dynamics and games.

  • There are other ways to see things, and that can help us carry out projects that are beneficial to the community.

  • La Caja

    Place: València

    Using the metaphor of thinking outside the box, and within the framework of a development education project, Jovesolides created La Caja (“the box”). It is an initiative that uses the Sustainable Development Objectives to show children and youth from schools in Valencia different world realities.  Its main objective is to build awareness among youth on these issues, and make them take notice of the active role they have in society. Young people can contribute to social change from their school, their family, their surroundings etc. http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/

     

    How does this project work?

    An innovative methodology, Creative Solution to Social Problems (SCPS), is used to do this. It was designed and tested by the association.  And there are also creative dynamics and experiential experiences that help youth break their prejudices, thus tearing down the walls of their boxes.
