Corporacion Region para el Desarrollo y la Democracia (CR)
Corporacion Region para el Desarrollo y la Democracia (CR) was founded in 1989 as a non-governmental, non-profit organization by a group of 19 professionals from the human and social sciences. Its mission is to contribute to local and regional development, promote social inclusion, defend democracy, and build a peaceful society.
With an emphasis on education, communication, and research, the Corporación Región works in four program areas: 1) human rights; 2) education and culture; 3) urban and public policies, and 4) institutional development. Corporación Región’s activities target youth, mothers, students and their parents, community and organizational leaders, intellectuals, and public employees.
CR has participated in -- and is currently part of -- an impressive number of networks at the international, national, and local levels. These include the Latin American Social Sciences Council (CLACSO); the NOVIB International Platform; the Antioquia Federation of NGOs; the National Network for Education on Human Rights; the Civil Society Assembly for Peace; the Network on Educational Innovations; and the Support Network for Youth Public Policy.
