Mission and vision of the Pere Tarrés Foundation

Educate. Act. Transform.

At the Pere Tarrés Foundation, we accompany people throughout their lives with educational and social projects that generate real impact. Because we believe that it is through the sum of many small changes that great social transformations are achieved. 

We are a transformative and christian humanist values organization that provides educational, social, and training services to children, young people, families, caregivers, seniors, as well as to schools and other entities. 

As a non-profit organization, we reinvest all our resources into social and solidarity actions aimed at improving the lives of the most vulnerable groups. We want to help make our society a more just, equitable, and opportunity-filled place for everyone. 

Our mission

The promotion of the person through education, especially in leisure time, and social action grounded in the values of Christian humanism.

Elements of the mission

The promotion of the person

Our ultimate reference is everything that contributes to the full realization of the person in their dignity and in all their dimensions.

Social action

Social action with groups with specific needs or who are more disadvantaged, or the promotion of community development, only serves the person and their growth if it incorporates the educational dimension or becomes a setting for values education.

Education

All of our actions have a clear educational dimension in both their means and their ends.

The values

We understand education solely as the teaching of values that shape a person.

Leisure education

The importance of social and non-school contexts in the construction of young people's personalities leads us to choose leisure as a privileged framework for promoting values education.

 

Our vision

We want to be a relevant social agent, transformative through direct social and educational action, through affiliated entities, through training, and through the dissemination of knowledge and reflections.

We want to be an autonomous, Christian-inspired, and efficient entity that generates social value and improvements for children and other groups with social needs, and that supports nonprofit entities of general interest.

We have a universalizing ambition. We envision significant growth in the scope and impact of our actions and reflections, both in Catalonia and Spain and, on a selective basis, in Ibero-America in the coming years.

Our values

The actions of the people who are part of the Pere Tarrés Foundation are rooted in the values of Christian humanism. Our educational and social commitment leads us to work for the person and the community from a love of others, the pursuit of fraternity and justice, ethics, a spirit of service toward the vulnerable, interiority and spirituality, and the work for peace and truth.

We embody these values through:

Education

We understand education as the cornerstone of our mission and the best way to accompany, empower, and help people grow.

Commitment

We are committed to social transformation toward equality and social justice.

Responsibility

We promote a rigorous, responsible, and high-quality approach.

Enthusiasm

We get involved, approaching others with honesty and enthusiasm.

Spiritual sensitivity

We are an entity of the Catholic Church and we base our educational and social work on the values of Christian humanism. The message of Jesus inspires our transformative vision and gives meaning to our actions.
