Mission and Objectives

AIPC-Pandora is a non-profit organization which has a global objective to study and understand the different cultures of the world in order to discover their individual values and traditions and of spreading them; promoting their integration in the world, and fostering the learning, communication and dialogue between all of them. To achieve this we develop activities related to non-formal education, always in an intercultural context, and activities that foment the mobility of the people of the world. This includes voluntary work in another country as well as orientation, and programmes to encourage labour insertion into the local and national level.
