The Route of Change: More Than Just a Program
The Route of Change is an educational scheme designed for young people aged 17-35 who are in social abandonment. It’s built around three core objectives:
- Ensure, maintain, and grow in formal employment.
- Develop professional and life skills.
- Create and promote their personal and professional life plan.
This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a comprehensive journey that equips participants with the tools they need to thrive both professionally and personally.
Project Impact and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 1: No Poverty – by providing employment and skills development.
- SDG 4: Quality Education – through the Route of Change educational program.
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – fostering formal employment opportunities.
- SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities – focusing on social abandonment inclusion.
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – collaborating with other foundations and organizations.
Agents of Change and Alliances
Pixza calls its participants “agents of change” because they take charge of their own transformation and inspire others along the way. The platform works hand-in-hand with various foundations and organizations, acting as the final link in a chain that leads to social inclusion. It’s a collective effort, and Pixza is grateful for every alliance that helps make this vision a reality.
