Embedded Files
To support you in relating to issues such as homelessness, socioeconomic exclusion and poverty, we have assembled a collection of materials that help you to learn and to dive deeper. Only if we understand the issues we are dealing with, we can support the persons that are affected by it. In addition to the resources provided here, we offer an ICB Cares basic training for our new volunteer sign ups. Below, you will find books and websites that we recommend, and an overview of government and NGO organizations that support persons in socioeconomic vulnerability here in Barcelona.
We will continue to expand and update these resources. Contact information, addresses and opening hours of the listed organizations may change, please always double check the information on the organizations' website if need be. In case you find information that may be outdated, please let us know. Thank you!
