Abrazo House
ABRAZOHOUSE is an educational project located in the Aras Valley, Voto, in Cantabria, northern Spain. Since 2006, hundreds of volunteers from all over the world have come here to get their hands dirty and to learn about ecology, natural building and sustainable living. Behind the AbrazoHouse project there is a philosophy. We like to call it ecological design, though it has had many other names and our methods have been practiced by many other people (famous or anonymous) since time immemorial. We would define it as the art and science of working with nature. Some of its main elements could be summarised as follows:
• Keep it simple. The simplest solution is usually the best. We don’t like to rely on complex designs and machinery.
• Money is not wealth. True wealth lies in health, happiness, good relationships, life’s diversity, and meaningful activity, not in money. It is true that you do need some money in order to live — but a lot less than you might think.
• Slow and steady. It’s better to go slowly in the right direction than quickly in the wrong direction.
• Work with what you’ve got. There’s no point in trying to be pure in an impure world. ABRAZOHOUSE is an Education Centre about learning in nature and focusing on building with natural materials and growing a food forest. Apart for Natural Building and Growing food forest, ABRAZOHOUSE has run residential and non-residential educational programmes with an ecological ethos. These include school visits, university field trips, hands-on practical workshops, volunteering openings, and indepth residential courses that take advantage of the unique benefits offered by our location, facilities and identity

Inovaciju Biuras
VšĮ Inovacijų biuras (Innovation Office) creates a supportive environment for people’s activity, creativity, and innovations, focusing on the era of digitalization, and running some digitally developed products, including e-learning. The organization is accredited for European Solidarity (2020-1-LT02-ESC52-007318) Although Innovation Office’s main focus is on creativity and entrepreneurship, the organisation encourages people to be active in many fields as innovations could be grown only if a person has an open mind and a broad point of view, especially if it is important not only in regular business but also in social entrepreneurship. Innovation Office acts as Incubator for Good Ideas, supports youth entrepreneurship, and runs such long-term projects as the Online Youth Newspaper YouthExpress.eu, a database of scholarly articles ScholarArticles.net, social business Relative Art, and others. The organisation is highly focused on social inclusion and encourages people to make positive changes step-by-step.
Academy For Active Youth
The fundamental idea of Academy for Active Youth is based on the principle ‘By Young People For Young People’. What we promote can be summed up in one sentence, which is: The responsibility for the future is in the hands of us- the youth, and we do is to train the youth to become the ambassadors of a more sustainable society. We support the integration of vulnerable youth groups from our society- unemployed youth, youth with health problems, youth with fewer opportunities, students and pupils, youth with fewer opportunities, youth from minorities, unemployed youth, and youth with fewer educational opportunities. The interesting thing for us is that we are all youth ourselves; some of us are just 18 (the oldest one of us is 26). Our association is mainly run by volunteers who are in many various spheres of development. The organization works on developing youth politics and actively involving youth activities in daily social life. Academy for active youth aims to mediate between the youth and the power of representation. Our long-term goal is to create an active young society of youngsters that know what it takes to make a change for youth voices to be heard and for more opportunities for the most vulnerable youth because only the young are the ones that are allowed to be idealistic by striving for a better world, and most importantly, that know that it is never too early to start. You are never too young to make a change happen. The causes that we keep close to our hearts are more youth in agriculture, more developed rural areas, thanks to the youth, youth in entrepreneurship, youth in politics, and youth in education. We consider that it is the youth who brings the new; therefore, we feel the need to give our best to prepare the foundations of active youth society in Bulgaria and Europe. The organization was founded on 17.12.2019. Some of us have always worked in the youth sector for different NGO’s, others in the arts and culture, third in the development of youth politics, fourth of us are dealing professionally with digital media and technology, others with entrepreneurship, agricultural and rural development. We are all united by the idea of the fact that peers have the biggest power to influence other peers. That is why we work on setting an example of active and proactive youth, that doesn’t blame the world for their problems, but seeks ways to improve it. Informal education and its promotion is a huge part of what we believe in. We know that informal education can develop the personal qualities of the youngsters for them one day to be young leaders and developers. Our main interests are working on involving young people in politics, social entrepreneurship, agriculture, self- development, and intercultural experiences and with these qualifications and inspirations to set an example from young people to other young people.
