Psychological Recovery and Social Leadership Camps for

Adolescents 1:

At Culture Against Bullets, we select teenagers who stand out for their educational achievements and their commitment to the well-being of their war-affected communities. We select young people who live in countries with armed conflicts where their education suffers severely and those who already contribute with volunteer work and prepare them to be solidarity leaders.

Through our program, which includes psychological rehabilitation in Spain, we provide them with knowledge, emotional support and skills to organize social projects. Our goal is that, upon returning to their communities, they can act as agents of change and carry out initiatives to improve the lives of their communities.

In January 2024, 34 Ukrainian teenagers arrived on the sunny shores of Spain with the goal of regaining their mental health and developing volunteer skills. For two weeks, they learned how to create social programs to support their communities. With the support of our volunteers, they participated in karate classes with Geovanny Sanchez, visited Valencia, were invited by ISAVAL to a basketball game, explored the beautiful town of Javea. The Rotary Club of Jávea financed meals at the CEPT Port de Xábia dining hall. Michelin-starred chef Borja Susilla, from the restaurant "Tula", organized a Spanish cooking workshop for the young people. The cultural exchange was fundamental, as they shared experiences and future dreams with students from two local educational institutions.
