A special attention is given to education, in order to implement in the work and through the work in the communities the four pillars of the Education of the UNESCO (learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, learning to be) for the complete and integral development of the people and the communities.
IIDAC concentrates its energies in the scope at citizen formation and the entrepreneurship of the populations, having it in the social protagonism methodology the transversal source to the different initiatives that carries through and supports in national and international level.

These endeavours occur in cooperation with the technical participation of the Institute in the elaboration and implementation of solutions for the challenges in the realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), with local partners and with international cooperation entities, in particular in the UN system.
The MDG Universities Program reinforces practices of volunteerism, protagonism, and youth entrepreneurialism, investing in the development of capacities in the creation and the innovation of youth social technologies in the context of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The program “Adolescents and Citizenship” reinforces the practices of volunteerism, youth protagonism and the education peer-to-peer developed by youth between the ages of 12 and 18 for the realization of fundamental rights and responsibilities.
The Program Cooperation for Development integrates experiences, knowledge, and abilities of individuals and global social management structures.
