Abrazo House Association is a non-profit organisation to promote a holistic view of the world, through the areas of Earth Restoration, Practical Action, Ecological Design, Wellbeing, Community and Mindfulness.
The purpose of our organisation is to contribute to the personal and social development of young people with fewer opportunities (social isolation) in the context of Reykjavík city, including young immigrants, through youth work with a holistic approach. Our organization runs two youth reach centers for social isolated youngsters between 13-16 years old; and one more for young people between 16-20 years old. Additionally, we are developing an intercultural youth center to help bridge differences and empower young people of foreign origin towards social integration. In total our organisation provides services for 80 young people from 13-20 years old. Our organization is the only one attending social isolated young people through the service centres of the city of Reykjavík in cooperation with schools. Therefore the present project can be a great opportunity for cooperation with schools’ staff. We use non formal learning methodologies to empower young people in their personal and social development. We believe that our work complements formal schooling, fostering young people’s self-esteem and resilience for social relations.
