Strengthening the esplais is our reason for being

The reason for Esplais Catalans is to strengthen the esplais (youth organisations) that are part of Esplac. That’s why we offer support focused on promoting the autonomy of our esplais. To do this, we offer to them pedagogical and organizational resources, as well as trainings, in order to help you with whatever you need to develop their activity.

What do we offer?

Advice and training in the legal, administrative and economic management of esplai

Keeping up with the legal changes that affect esplais is very important for the proper functioning of associations. That is why we work to make the information understandable and to make a good accompaniment in the efforts. In addition, we offer support in economic management, resource management, recreation documentation and relations with public administrations. Specifically we offer:
