Cooperação Europeia e Local
Non Formal Education Locally and Globally
In its multidimensional intervention, CAAB also carries out Youth projects that aim to contribute to the achievement of our mission: contribute to the holistic development of our youth and promote the construction of a fair, solidary and open society that participates with respect in intercultural and intergenerational dialogue, so natural in the European context and in our rural parish.
We aim to empower our young people and children to be local and regional multipliers of good social practices, aiming for a chain effect in our community.
In the Youth sector, two emblematic programs at European level aimed at empowering young people and support structures are Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps (visit their official websites for more information on opportunities for youth and organizations). At a national level, there is the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth, an essential partner for associations working in this sector, supporting them in their daily activities.
We advocate for intergenerational cooperation and dialogue in resolving local problems and in revitalizing our village. At the same time, these local partnerships allow us to promote impactful experiences of learning, sharing and empathy.
We also believe that learning in a European context, the opportunity to discover, know and collaborate with other young people and organizations in Europe allows us to develop ourselves as active citizens and improve our association as a support structure for youth action. At the same time, it's fun and we make friends all over Europe!
As a recent organization, CAAB is beginning its intervention in this type of activities. See below the projects we have already developed and find out a little more about CAAB projects!
