“Intelligo” study program
Social Promotion Foundation develops methodological tools and guides
to study in order to meet in a more personalized way the specific needs of students who participate in this program and improve their academic performance.
Socio-cultural activities: summer camps and volunteering
The summer activities that Social Promotion Foundation promotes in coordination with youth associations in Spain contribute to the extra-curricular and extra-university training of young people in a climate of exchange, and to the promotion of coexistence and cultural values. Sport and volunteering are two fundamental elements that complete each activity.
In 2017, a total of eight camps were developed in different parts of Spain for primary and secondary school students, and two work camps for volunteering
in Oporto for young people from 4th
of ESO onwards, in which 621 young people and 116 monitors participated.
In addition, as in 2016, the “Summer Activities Awards” have been organized in which the activity developed in these camps is valued. On this occasion, 7 youth associations have been awarded.
Volunteering
Social Promotion Foundation facilitates and coordinates volunteer actions
for associations through which
young women can strengthen their commitment to social needs. They are also given official recognition of the hours dedicated to volunteering and the possibility of participating in meetings between associations for their training as volunteers and the exchange of good practices.
