Nexes is a non-profit organisation founded in 1999 and based in Barcelona. Its multicultural team is composed by approx. 8 youth workers, trainers and experts on European programs that came together because of their common ideals and interest in the dialogue between cultures. Nexes has a budget of ca. 250.000 Euros and is funded by programmes as Youth in Action, Lifelong Learning, the Municipality of Barcelona and the local Government of Catalunya, the Generalitat. We cooperate with a wide range of public institutions, NGOs and enterprises and we are active in several networks both at local and international level.Mission and Objectives
Our main objectives are to raise awareness/educate young people in the: o meeting among cultures, focusing on intercultural learning and intercultural dialogue; o inclusion and equality of opportunities; o education to human rights (the three generations); o political awareness (in the sense of πόλις) o participative citizenship; o glo-cal action for social transformation; o personal and group growth, through the development of professional and social competences.Main Projects / Activities
Working in non-formal education and experiential learning environments we organise training courses, workshops, youth exchanges, European Voluntary Service (sending, hosting and coordinating), Leonardo da Vinci vocational projects, and other youth activities for and by young people. In the frame of the Youth and Leonardo da Vinci programme realised various activities in Europe, Mediterranean countries and South America developing important knowledge and experiences in non formal education, vocational training, project management and Youth mobility. All the work at international level is linked to the empowerment and active participation of young people at local level, such as in projects like “Crossroad” (feasibility visit towards a large scale Action 5) or “Globa-l-inks” network.
