EDUCATION FOR DEVELOPmENT AND AWARENESS RAISING
The Foundation is aware that citizenship is necessary to generate a culture
of solidarity committed to the fight against poverty and social exclusion,
as well as to the promotion of human and sustainable development. For this, an educational process that integrates knowledge, attitudes, and values is necessary.
