About the organization

La Víbria Intercultural is an association based in Terrassa, a city with 224.000 inhabitants and 40 min away from Barcelona, that works to promote interculturality and peace culture by doing non-formal education activities.

Founded in 2003, we work with youngsters in different ways: on the one hand, some hours in the week we dedicated exclusively to give information to youngsters aged 13 to 35, in different municipalities of Catalonia region, related to going abroad (to study, to do internships, to volunteer, to work...). On the other hand, we are very active on international activities, so we are hosting, coordinating and sending youngsters for ESC and moreover, we organize local and international projects related to interculturality and other topics that interests our youngsters.

La Víbria is also actively involved in supporting young people on their professional development by providing internships abroad.

In January 2024 we started a new adventure, opening a cultural bar in the heart of our city Terrassa. Baumann bar is a place where art, music, and community converge with a diverse range of activities. With eclectic ambiance, diverse menu, and welcoming vibe and based in a historical modernist building.

About the organization

The Amat Roumens Foundation, LaFACT is a private, non-profit social organization created in 1971 and constituted as a Foundation in 1985. It responds to the proposal of a group of parents who sought to give continuity to the process of training and social inclusion of their children with disabilities, once the special education stage was completed.

The project was based on a novel approach in our country, based on occupational employment as a means of inclusion, and at the time it was an innovative experience in Spain. LaFACT provides care for more than 500 people with disabilities. Each of the people served, according to their abilities and autonomy,
receives the most appropriate support. The management and support staff is made up of more than 100 professionals and volunteers.

The Foundation’s Leisure Service organizes and promotes the participation of people with intellectual disabilities in socio-educational and sports activities, as a platform to improve personal autonomy and social inclusion. Although in the city of Terrassa there is a great offer (municipal and/or private) in the field of training, non-formal education and leisure, their participation is difficult. Either because of the idiosyncrasy of the person or because only rarely the activities are within reach
of their interests and abilities, especially in the case of adults with intellectual disabilities.
