About us

We believe in the transformative power of education. Since 1999, we have supported young people and adults in their personal, professional and digital development in communities throughout the country.

Mission

Fundación Educando's mission is the social, occupational and digital inclusion of young people and adults in situations of vulnerability, promoting non-formal education through the commitment of social and educational stakeholders towards the strengthening of the community.

We understand social inclusion as the growth of community bonds among individuals, enabling the strengthening of community development and its grassroots organisations. We consider that this must encompass, as an essential action, occupational inclusion — defined as the improvement of employability and entrepreneurial capacity, recognising the challenges of the twenty-first century.

We believe that digital inclusion is fundamental, understood as the introduction of young people and adults to the technological world.

Vision & Values

A united and supportive society, free from inequality and environmentally sustainable, with proactive young people and adults seeking solutions to community challenges; generating personal and collective growth from a healthy public space that facilitates social, educational and occupational integration.

Our Principles

Philosophy

From the individual to the community, and from the community to the entire nation.
Education is an essential right of every human being, regardless of age or circumstance. It liberates us; it dignifies us. We know that by improving individuals' capacities, we enhance their integration into social life and promote the development of the entire community. We work towards the construction of a more just and equitable society, in which every person has the opportunity to choose.

Standards

Clear and efficient management of every process.

We operate an IT system for the management, monitoring and controlling all our locations throughout the country, in an interactive manner with our educational partners in each community. We hold ISO 9001 certification to guarantee the quality and efficiency of all our processes, practices and funding.

Quality Policy >

Country

The first step is to understand clearly what is needed.
Our programmes are aimed at communities with fewer opportunities, with education as the driving force for their progress. We provide training founded on deep respect for their reality, culture and dignity, seeking to promote personal and institutional growth that will bring sustainability to the entire community. We work even in the face of the challenges posed by a vast territory such as Argentina's, where isolation is one of the principal causes of social fragmentation.

Values

Acting with responsibility and commitment in every endeavour.
Our social commitment extends to all sectors of society, through ongoing dialogue. We engage with communities with the cultural respect they deserve, in order to achieve educational excellence together, aspiring to attain the highest quality standards in our programmes. We work responsibly, knowing that education is our principal ally in enabling each individual to overcome their situation of vulnerability.
