AIPC-PANDORA – Madrid – Spain: is a non-profit organisation that has the global objective to know and study the different cultures, in order to discover and spread their values, working for social and professional promotion of all people under the principle of equality of opportunites in education and access to employment.
The majority of our programs are aimed at young people with the objective to encourage them to open up and respect difference, assisting their personal, social and professional development so that they can confront the challenges of our society with realism and enthusiasm.
At AIPC-PANDORA we cater for young people with fewer opportunities, developing new methodolgies and efficient means of education and integration that open doors and allow them to choose their future. Socio-cultural integration is worked on through three actions or programs:
-
Integration through the MOBILITY of people around the world; European Voluntary Service and employment and language programs abroad.
-
Integration through SOCIO-CULTURAL TRAINING, where we work towards and carry out workshops of social insertion.
-
Integration through EMPLOYMENT.
