Sustainability and social responsibility are guiding principles in ADPV's work. The association seeks to develop projects that have a positive and lasting impact, promoting active citizenship, volunteering, and the involvement of the population in building solutions to local challenges. Working in partnership with other associations, public entities, schools, and local stakeholders is a central strategy, allowing for the expansion of the reach of initiatives and strengthening community cohesion.
