The Rightchallenge Association is a non-governmental organisation which aims at the promotion of education as a means of social inclusion and equal opportunities. We believe that education must focus on the integral development of all people – independently of social status, sexual orientation, age, or gender – in order to prepare them to intervene and participate in all dimensions of society, such as family, work, community and leisure. So, as an organisation actively engaged with the community, one of our pillars is lifelong learning, because we have the conviction that it’s essential to sustainable development, as it promotes active, democratic, and responsible citizenship among citizens. Rightchallenge activities are aimed to ensure quality and access to non-formal education and to overcome the deficits in access to lifelong learning in Portugal, while promoting the valorisation of human capital and generating value in organisations by providing integrated training services.
Rightchallenge recognises that non-formal and lifelong education are extremely important to develop social, emotional, and cognitive competences, while promoting the individuals’ personal fulfilment and well-being. As an organisation who strives for holistic development, we promote and develop positive transformations in society and facilitate the access of learning opportunities for citizens who face educational attainment and career obstacles.
Our specialists have a wide range of expertise in education, educational policies, and networking activities in the field of non-formal education. We create resources and curriculum (both in online and face-to-face environments) to support adult educators and other VET providers to address the needs of their target-groups.
Rightchallenge also works with policy makers and stakeholders to improve the skills of everyone that participates in non-formal education. Our network of research groups, universities and other educational institutions allows us to develop and organise courses, meetings, and conferences to participate actively in the non-formal education debate. Our interventions promote human resources development and capacity building in the fields of education, VET, entrepreneurship, labour, and employment, contributing directly for the local research in the labour market, as well as being staffed with people who have expertise in digital tools and multimedia suites.
Rightchallenge develops a social intervention by promoting institutional training of social actors and qualifying stakeholders for an effective intervention and for strengthening of the social sector.
We provide an inclusive variety of services such as:
– Human Resources development and capacity building in the fields of adult education, vocational education and training, community intervention, labour and employment;
– Curriculum design and development in a variety of sectors, both for Face-to-Face and Online Environments;
– Consultancy in career guidance and development;
– Design, development, and evaluation of vocational and socio-professional programmes for low-skilled citizens, early leavers from education and training of marginalised communities;
– Volunteering, internship, and job opportunities through the European Solidarity Corps programme.
