Who are we?
Fundació Resilis was set up as a non profit-making entity on November 8, 2006 under the guidance of the Fundació Plataforma Educativa (Educational Platform Foundation). Our main objective is the management and development of projects, programmes and care services for children and young people in situations of exclusion, risk or serious difficulty.
It takes its name from the concept of resilience, a term coming from physics and adapted to the social sciences that refers to the capacity of individuals to develop to their full potential despite the presence of destabilising events and difficult circumstances. With this definition in mind, our foundation wishes to stimulate the capacity for resilience in the people that we serve, without forgetting every individual’s role in their story and in their route towards a full and independent life.
From the beginning Resilis has taken over the direct management of projects, centres and services in this sphere from the Fundació Plataforma Educativa. Through this connection comes more than 10 years of first-hand experience in the sector, which provides a wealth of important knowledge despite the Fundació’s youth.
