Training course on Children Rights promoting Emancipation (Human Rights Education as a tool to deconstruct Social Exclusion)

Esplais Catalans, Esplac, is a secular and progressive association of ”esplais” (non-profit youth associations of leisure-time education working on volunteer basis) whose aim is social change through Children's Rights Education. Strengthening our “esplais” is our reason to exist.
We develop our aims according to these values and we promote equality, freedom, social participation, environmental sustainability and children’s rights.

Main goals of Esplac:
- To promote the social change by means of a comprehensive and liberating education.
- To get recognition and social awareness about the importance of educational youth work.
- To be a referent for the secular esplais of Catalonia, support them and provide them with the necessary services to help them develop and improve.
- To contribute actively to the strengthening of the civil society of our country by promoting children’s and young people’s association.
- To promote respect towards the Catalan culture and encourage to strengthen it.
- To raise awareness on the importance of educational associations and popular education in order to build a committed and free citizenship, as well as getting the social recognition about it.
- To promote the social participation of children and young people from Catalonia and other places, by taking action on the local and international spheres.
