WHO ARE WE?

La Víbria Intercultural is an association based in Terrassa, a city with 224.000 inhabitants and 40 min away from Barcelona, that works to promote interculturality and peace culture by doing non-formal education activities.

Founded in 2003, we work with youngsters in different ways: on the one hand, some hours in the week we dedicated exclusively to give information to youngsters aged 13 to 35, in different municipalities of Catalonia region, related to going abroad (to study, to do internships, to volunteer, to work…). On the other hand, we are very active on international activities, so we are hosting, coordinating and sending youngsters for ESC and moreover, we organize local and international projects related to interculturality and other topics that interests our youngsters.

La Víbria is also actively involved in supporting young people on their professional development by providing internships abroad.

In January 2024 we started a new adventure, opening a cultural bar in the heart of our city Terrassa. Baumann bar is a place where art, music, and community converge with a diverse range of activities. With eclectic ambiance, diverse menu, and welcoming vibe and based in a historical modernist building.
