Esplais Catalans is a non-religious and progressive association where volunteerism is our way of work to change the society. In our entity, the esplai is a citizen school for children, youth, families and leaders; a popular education way. Esplais Catalans is the result of the esplais\u2019 and people\u2019s willingness to have exchanging, learning and join action places. Equality, freedom, associative participation, environmental education and Children\u2019s Rights are promoted in Esplais Catalans.<\/p>\n
In this regard, in Esplais Catalans we help the leaders with their education, we organize events and we promote campaigns and the creation of working commissions about relevant aspects of esplais<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Esplais Catalans is a non-religious and progressive association where volunteerism is our way of work to change the society based in Children\u2019s Rights and the popular education.<\/p>\n
The strengthening and the esplai\u2019s participation is our reason of being.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
As esplais, we want to be a referent educational agent for the social change of the territory, as well as being inclusive, diverse and recognized for our educational task.<\/p>\n
To do it,\u00a0 we will work to be a more diverse, participatory, critical, cohesive, territorially rooted and constantly revised project.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>Volunteerism: <\/strong>our way for an active and full citizenship is based on the commitment, the responsibility and the role of leadership are assumed by the the non-profit esplai\u2019s leaders. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>\n
Global Justice: <\/strong>we are critically questioning the established social, political and economic model, understanding that we live in an interdependent and eco-dependent world. Therefore, we encourage the ability to look outwards, become aware of our global position and recognise and transform our closest reality.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>\n
Intersectional Feminism:<\/strong> we have life and care in the centre of our project to transform the binary and cisheteropatriarch system and the inequalities and discriminations it generates. However, we recognise the existence of different axes of oppression and how these intersecte each other. Therefore, bearing in mind our privileges, we want to continue to fight for a safe and just society for all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>\n
Secularism: <\/strong>we are a critical movement that promotes the freedom of thought, action and belief of citizenship, especially of children, with human and children’s rights as a reference framework. We are independent of any religious order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>Associationism: <\/strong>is an instrument that we use to self-determine people and self-manage groups through democracy and assembly participation. Federal vertebration of esplais in the territory must serve as speaker for children and young people associated with them.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>Degrowth: <\/strong>It is the model to rethink the use and management of resources. It is necessary to break with the capitalist model and the constant growth in order to eliminate the social inequalities and the exploitation of the earth.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Education to, for and about Children\u2019s Rights<\/h3>\n
Esplais Catalans\u2019 educational project approach arises from the work of children, leaders and families that are part of the association, and from the collection of our ideas and the convictions that guide our way of educating. In order to adapt our entity to the new social context and give answers based on the esplai\u2019s real needs, the documents that constitute the Esplac\u2019s pedagogical project approach are not statics and are in constant evolution. For this reason, nowadays we are developing a new project that will check Esplac\u2019s pedagogic lines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAs a non-religious and progressive association, <\/span>our education task is based on Children\u2019s Rights<\/b>. We understand the education based on Children\u2019s Rights using an integral approach that considers the knowledge of the rights and the responsibilities like the learning of the skills and attitudes that we need to obtain a more equal society. <\/span><\/p>\nThe game is the principal methodology of espl<\/b>a<\/strong>i<\/strong>, because it allows us to work values, competences and skills through a distended and entertaining way. Another great pedagogic tool includes is the holidays and vacation times (camps, routes), because playing in a natural environment fosters aspects like cohabitation in group, personal growth and work of values as the responsible consumption, the solidarity and the cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\nThe pedagogical lines of Esplac are:<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/div>
