The social practicum makes strides ahead of the new European Higher Education Area, which will enable students to obtain recognition in credits for participating in solidarity and cooperation activities at university.

JOVINS (Joves amb la infància), is an educational project in which young committed volunteers support children between 8 and 17 years of age at risk of social exclusion through school reinforcement activities. The project name means “Young people with children”, and this refers to how the volunteers connect with children and teens as teachers.

Do you want to contribute to the fight against hunger and inequality? At Manos Unidas we set ourselves this goal 63 years ago, which is why we are resuming our solidarity activities with initiatives such as concerts aimed at various development cooperation programs. With this first act, and thanks to your collaboration, we will improve education coverage of young Ugandans at risk of exclusion.
The Coral Càrmina, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary with soloists Ulrike Haller (soprano), Mariona Llobera (contralto), Ferran Mitjans (tenor), German de la Riva (bass) and the Orquesta de Cámara Terrassa48, conducted by Quim Térmens i Daniel Mestre, will interpret Mozart's Requiem, completed by his disciple F.X. Süssmayr, accompanied by the well known “Laudate Dominum” from the Vesperae solennes de confessore.
The concert will take place on 6 October 2022 at 21:00 in the Basilica of Santa Maria del Pi, Plaça del Pi, 7, Barcelona.
Donation tickets for this solidarity concert can be obtained for only 20 euros either online by clicking on this link or in person at our Barcelona branch located at 1.º 1.ª Calle Provença 229.
We have also opened the digital Fila Cero for those who are interested in collaborating financially with a solidarity contribution but who are unable to attend the concert.
That's all we're going to tell you! Check it out live - it's worth it in every way!
Come on, come with Manos Unidas to a concert!

Alegría sin fronteras was born as the dream of the Catalan pediatrician, Iñaki Alegría, to remedy the illnesses of children in Ethiopia who suffer from child malnutrition. A volunteer trip before he finished his medical degree made him realise that he had found his place: in the Horn of Africa, alongside people most in need, people who, at the same time, have an enduring desire to carry on, despite the obstacles and disease.
So Alegría decided to go and live there indefinitely with his wife, in order to coordinate a hospital and home for lepers in the region of Gambo, where, alongside local health workers, they fight every day to overcome diseases and overcome the stigmas that condemn the sick.
