LABERINTO HURDANO
Laberinto Hurdano was created in 2017 by a group of people who believed in the development of the rural areas from Extremadura, Spain, and in obtaining knowledge from non-formal education and through education in values. The motto of the organization is «People are the most important thing» and its work philosophy is based on this principle.
Laberinto Hurdano is a cooperative formed by young people with interdisciplinary skills, artists, teachers, social intervention technicians, educators and non-formal education professionals.
The groups involved in our activities are wide and diverse. However, the work is focused on groups of people from rural areas, with fewer opportunities, children, youth and adults. Groups at risk of social exclusion. Groups in the age of adolescence and youth. And international youth groups.
Nowadays very diverse activities are carried out, in form and substance.
