Cerci Lamas

Cerci-Lamas is a social solidarity cooperative founded in 1979 by a group of parents and community-minded supporters. It was established to respond to the educational needs of children experiencing difficulties adapting to school, as well as children who had no access to schooling because of disability. Its work is guided by a commitment to social inclusion and to helping vulnerable people develop their skills, autonomy and sense of responsibility, with the aim of supporting quality of life.

The organisation provides several services: CACI, a Centre for Activities and Training for Inclusion; CFP, a Professional Training Centre; CRI, a Resource Centre for Inclusion; and SAAS, a Social Support and Follow-up Service. These offerings reflect Cerci-Lamas’s focus on inclusion, learning and support for people facing vulnerability. The cooperative also presents information about its institution, documents, partnerships and ways to help, and invites visitors to get in touch. With the message “Giving citizenship form,” Cerci-Lamas positions its work around participation and the development of people’s capabilities.
