Jovesolides

Jovesolides originates from a project in a Valencian neighbourhood promoted by young students dedicated to the environment connected to participation and social commitment. Young Spanish and Valencian people but the ones coming from other countries to Valencia met in a project about social integration in a preferred neighbourhood, La Coma. Making university studies compatible with the social projection was the basis from which different Jovesolides organizations which form Jovesolides network were constructed. This goal commitment and promotion of youth leadership is the point of convergence of the work developed for this network structure, that, among all wants to be a promoter of the social transformation towards the other point of view about the living and seeing development.
