The youth centre of the west district – La Baraka is a non-profit organization which aim is to favour the emancipation and fulfilment of individuals while turning them into critical, responsible, active and solidary citizens. La Baraka is accompanying mostly young people between 6 and 26 years old.

It uses active pedagogy and lifelong learning processes based upon:

  • commitment to local and societal environment
  • co-building of skills and knowledge
  • artistic creation, individual and collective expression, and cultural awakening
