Education and Training

Dianova Spain’s education activities have contributed to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Education) in terms of formal education, vocational training and human rights education. In addition, Dianova’s initiatives for migrants and refugees have contributed to SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) through training and professional development activities for adult asylum seekers and through the work carried out for unaccompanied minors in residential reception centres.

Dianova Spain also contributed to various targets of SDG 16 (peace and justice) with the development of educational programmes targeting youth violence and through the activities carried out in its educational and therapeutic centres for young people with severe behavioural disorders.

Addiction, Physican and Mental Health

In the area of mental health, Dianova’s initiatives contributed to various of the targets of SDG 3 (health and well-being) while impacting on additional elements of the 2030 Agenda, as was the case with the support programme for victims of torture, cruel treatment or sentences incompatible with international human rights standards.  (objective 16 – peace and justice)
