Nexes Interculturals

What Nexes Interculturals does

Nexes Interculturals is a non-profit cooperative (SCCL - Societat Cooperativa Catalana Limitada) headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, founded in 1999/2000. With approximately 19 employees, the organization delivers non-formal education programs focused on peace-building, intercultural learning, social inclusion, and global justice. Its primary customer base consists of young people, educators, migrants, and civil-society organizations participating in EU-funded mobility and civic programs, supplemented by training/consultancy clients and social-tourism participants.

The organization's core offerings include the ALMA program (Action for Learning, Mobilization, and Activism), European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteering placements, Erasmus+ VET (Vocational Education and Training) mobility projects, and Migrantour Barcelona—an alternative social-tourism service delivered as part of the Migrantour International Network. Additional named programs include the SLURP food-systems project, the KVAK methodology project (running 2024-2026), the Democra-SI international seminar, ApS Transformem les economies (Service-Learning training), an Educational Games Portfolio, and published training manuals and methodologies.

The business model is anchored in European Union grant programs (Erasmus+, European Solidarity Corps, ALMA/SOC) as the dominant revenue source. Secondary income streams include training/consultancy services and Migrantour Barcelona tour fees. Go-to-market is via consortium partnerships, public-sector contracts (Barcelona Activa, Ajuntament de Barcelona, Servei d'Ocupació de Catalunya), and inclusion in EU-wide project networks (REBOOT, Migrantour International, Planeterra, Barcelona Antirumors). Pricing is grant-determined rather than market-priced, making the organization highly sensitive to EU funding cycles.
