La Víbria Intercultural was founded in 2003 with the mission of promoting values ​​of diversity and interculturality among the young people and society in general. Through experiences of international mobility and sociocultural initiatives based on non-formal education. Since then La Víbria has been working to motivate participation, active citizenship and encourage young people to develop critical thinking. One of our main tasks is to advise the young people who wish to participate in international mobilities. We provide information and advice on work, volunteering, internships or studies in other countries, as well as short-term opportunities and information on scholarships and existing aid. We currently offer our services in Terrassa, Badalona, ​​L'Hospitalet Manresa, and the regions of Anoia and Bages, all of them in the province of Barcelona. In addition, we organize workshops in schools and youth centers in collaboration with regional organizations throughout Catalonia. We are active in various actions of Erasmus + and the European Solidarity Corps welcoming and sending European volunteers, participating and organizing training courses, youth exchanges and awareness campaigns on different issues that affect our youth. Locally we organize creative workshops, debates, cineforums and we have a group of active young people who participate in up the Vibrialab, where they share concerns and develop concrete actions to help improving local community and society in general. Our target groups are young people from 13 to 35 years old. We always pay special attention to young people with less opportunities, be they social obstacles, economic difficulties, cultural differences or disability. Since 2017, La Víbria has also participated in the TLN Mobility program to offer internship opportunities aborad to youth in NEET situation.

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
