RightChallenge is a non-governmental organization that aims to promote education and vocational training as a means of social inclusion and equal opportunities. We believe that education should focus on the development of all people – regardless of social status, age or gender – to prepare them to intervene and participate in all dimensions of society, such as family, work, community and leisure. Thus, as an organization actively involved with the community, one of our pillars is lifelong learning, because we are convinced that it is essential for sustainable development, promoting active, democratic, and responsible citizenship.

Our activities aim to ensure the quality and access to non-formal education and overcome the deficits of access to lifelong learning in Portugal while promoting the enhancement of human capital and the creation of value in organizations through integrated training services.

We are a non-governmental youth organization working for the cultural, social development and active participation of young people with fewer opportunities. We aim to; reach out and work with young people having different social needs and potentials; support them to be involved into decision making processes and build a capacity to co-develop applicable youth policies; support young people’s ideas to tackle social issues; develop their lobbying and advocacy skills; bring young people with different abilities from different backgrounds together so they can learn from each other; support participation of young people with disabilities into civil society; develop inclusive and accessible non-formal education methodologies for the mixed ability groups of young people. 

We are advocating against inequality, exclusion and discrimination based on disability and inaccessibility. We aim to increase the participation of young people with disabilities into decision making processes by strengthening their self advocacy skills. We have been organizing several international projects for capacity building of youth NGOs, youth workers and young people with and without disabilities. We promote a meaningful inclusion and build the capacity of youth organizations to work with mixed ability groups of young people, to provide an inclusive and accessible environment for all.
