ACSAR Foundation

ACSAR Foundation is rated 3 out of 5 in the category civic & social organization. Read and write reviews about ACSAR Foundation. The ACSAR Foundation, founded in March 2005 and based in Barcelona, compiles and capitalizes on the accumulated experience and pioneering work of the ACSAR Association, which, since the 70’s, has been a key player in the asylum and refugee processes in Catalonia and Spain. The work carried out by the ACSAR Foundation since its establishment has been guided by the principles of: studying the phenomenon of immigration in Catalonia and Spain with reference to the European and international context; promoting social awareness by holding debates that facilitate a mutual respect and understanding between different groups; and disseminating information to raise social awareness about asylum. Additionally, central to our work has been our support of the collective initiatives of neighbourhoods and localities working to cultivate a social cohesion and cultural exchange, as well as offering courses for local public officials and other professionals to promote proper management of the social realities that result from international migration.
