PILCROW

PILCROW is a non-governmental youth organization established in 2020 in Valencia, Spain, which aims at empowering youth. Among our key priorities are: raising young people’s awareness of the aching problems of our world, integration of socially disadvantaged and disabled people, fostering human rights, gender equality and intercultural dialogue. The organization is composed of 6 members of the board and a group of about 15 engaged volunteers, with different topics of interest but united by the idea of creating a space where multiculturality and international experiences play a crucial role.

The team created collaboratively with the volunteers the PILCROW’s mission and manifesto:
