About Us

Colony of Creators NGO, founded in 2017 and based in Madeira Island, Portugal.

A non-profit organisation dedicated to fostering lifelong learning skills.

We focus on two main audiences:

Youth Sector: We aim to empower young people as active citizens, promote social inclusion, and advance sustainable development education. We prioritise support for youth facing challenges due to geography, socioeconomic status, or personal circumstances.

Teachers, Adult Learners, and Youth Workers: As international training providers, through our courses we enhance the professional development of educators, aligning with Erasmus+ principles.
Our expertise spans innovative teaching, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, and digital and AI transformations.
We promote cross-cultural learning and a shared European identity among teachers worldwide.

Rooted in European values—human rights, democracy, gender equality, ecological awareness, and solidarity—we develop local and international projects, including workshops, team-building activities, youth exchanges, and training sessions.

Join us and be a part of the global movement for education and social change. Whether you are a young person looking to make an impact or an educator seeking professional growth, we have something for you.

We believe in education's power to transform individuals and societies by equipping young people with essential skills and knowledge for a brighter future. Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality training and resources that promote active citizenship, social inclusion, sustainability, and diversity, fostering a shared European identity.
