Activities I
All the activities we offer are based on the aims of our association: to provide information and
guidance to young people with the following principles:
We believe that transnational experience could offer young people the opportunity to grow
within a European dimension thanks to their personal and professional skills, so that they could
play a main role of the European future.
Building Bridges promoted different activities and projects, mainly in the field of European
programs such as "Youth in Action" (European Voluntary Service, Youth for Europe: Youth
Exchanges, Youth Initiatives, Training of youth workers), LLP Lifelong Learning Programme
"Leonardo da Vinci "(training work: mobility - PLM / IVT / VETPRO), and others, for the following
purposes: to offer young people the opportunity to access mobility programs in academic,
professional and cultural level to increase understanding between cultures and different systems
; promote the meeting between cultures and linguistic deepening in a local context, promoting
this dynamic mode intercultural learning and understanding; promote responsibility and active
participation of young people in society. Now with Erasmus+ we follow the same aims as previuos
years.
We have created a web with European voluntary opportunities for young Spanish, with
information on training, internships, exchanges and employment in Spain and Europe
(http://www.yeseuropa.org).
Activities II
Our main activities are:
1.YOUTH INFORMATION: We worked as volunteers in Europe with the Erasmus and Leonardo projects.
We would like other European young people have the chance of living in another European country. It was
a real change for us years ago thanks to the information we had.
Our goal now is to counsel and to encourage them to start their own adventure. We are devoted to the
european youth information. We have all experienced that years ago. There are many channels of
information on european announcements so we tend to spread them within the young people.
2. COUNCELLING:
Our main goal is counseling, informing, guiding and supporting the young graduates to continue their
studies in order to have access to the labour market. Within the activities oriented to entry the labour
market, Building Bridges helps:
I. Managing and broadcasting job offers
II. Informing about self employement and counseling for the creation of new companies.
We are aware of the markets requests for young people and graduates. All the members of the association
have already experiences dificulties when they were going to be hired in a competitive market and in
process of recession.
4.TRAINING
We offer training courses in the field of the cultural, educational and European management projects.
5. CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
All these years our association has developed many intercultural exchanges in the local and internacional
field giving young people the opportunity to be responsible and to get involved and to participate actively
in society.
From the beginning we have taken care of the training and volunteers through the participation in courses
and seminars promoted by other companies and organisation in some other activities.
