Espacio Ládano

Espacio Ládano is a non-profit non-governmental organization established in 2024, which was born with the idea of contributing to creating a fairer society. The organization is made up of people full of motivation, and aware of the social structural problems. The idea from which Espacio Ládano was born is to create initiatives and actions based on mutual support, solidarity, and cooperation between groups, organizations, young people, and anyone interested in contributing with time, experience, and knowledge. Espacio Ládano seeks cooperation away from assistance and paternalistic help. On the contrary, the idea is to work more cooperatively, avoid power hierarchies, and use dialogue and active listening for decision-making and implementing actions.

We focus on environmental sustainability and ecology through the development of communities founded on an ecofeminist and permacultural perspective. We also promote the well-being of their members by advocating an active society and promoting coexistence and tolerance.

To carry on these purposes, Espacio Ládano uses educational tools embracing non-formal and informal education methods to the for which digital tools where the facilitators guide and offer enough resources to the participants to get the best out of them and contribute to the mutual development of all those involved in the activities. The aim of these pedagogical methods is to encourage young people to have their own thoughts by listening to their colleagues, having different experiences, and building collective ideas and critical thinking.
