ABOUT 4C
​
4C is an organisation based in Athens, Greece with the main goal of lifelong learning through differentiated and experiential activities. Our activities are based on two pillars. The first concerns the EU, democracy and the protection of human rights. The second concerns sports, healthy lifestyle and social inclusion through sports.
​​
We have a network of local partners that we engage in different projects in order to achieve local meaningful impact. We train different age groups (teenagers, young adults, facilitators,) in order to inspire and stimulate self-directed and peer learning. We also aim to motivate them to become involved in their communities and to raise awareness about current values like equal opportunities, social inclusion and cultural diversity.
Through our projects, we aim to promote non-formal differentiated learning and the importance of personal development.
4C is active on a local, national and EU level.
Our Vision
We aim to inspire youth engagement in our activities and European programs. Additionally, we strive to educate youth workers, fostering values such as collaboration, teamwork, and fair play, while championing democracy, human rights, and accessibility for all.
