About the organisation
PILCROW is a youth-led non-governmental organisation established in 2020 and based in Valencia, Spain. It empowers young people, especially those facing barriers, to participate actively in their communities and in democratic life. The organisation designs and implements non-formal education, international mobility, training and community-based activities in the fields of inclusion, human rights, sustainability, digital literacy, media awareness, intercultural learning and youth participation. PILCROW works with young people, youth workers, schools, municipalities and civil-society organisations to strengthen practical skills, critical thinking, leadership and advocacy. Through Erasmus+, the European Solidarity Corps and CERV, PILCROW coordinates and participates in European projects addressing meaningful participation, diversity, mental health, climate resilience, green skills and children’s rights. Its approach combines experiential learning, co-creation and international cooperation, with a strong commitment to making youth voices visible and influential in decisions that affect them.
