About VerdeSur
VerdeSur was created in November 2019 by people who wanted to drive social change in Alcalá la Real, focusing on young people and connecting them to mobility and local socio-cultural activities. It has since grown to offer capacity-building for teachers, educators and adults.
Supported by the local municipality and based in Edificio Joven, we focus on young people aged 13–30 — increasing their employability, participation and opportunities in a rural town.
