The Rightchallenge Association is a non-governmental organisation which aims to promote education and training as a means of social inclusion and equal opportunities.

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.
