Concilia Project
The Concilia programme is a babysitting service for children aged between 1 and 12, offered at 12 locations in Barcelona. The project aims to help harmonise work, family, and personal life through a service that responds to existing work-life balance needs, mainly on the part of women, in terms of childcare.
It is open every day from Monday to Saturday outside school hours (in the afternoons during the week and all day on Saturdays), and priority is given to single-parent families, survivors of gender-based violence, or families without a community network to support them.
The service offers children a quality educational programme based on the values of co-education, participation, environmental education, interculturalism, emotional education, art, and health.
The project aims to promote women's access to occupational training courses and employment opportunities, while facilitating their promotion and retention in the workplace. It also seeks to guarantee women time for themselves, allowing them to participate fully in their community and strengthen their active role in society. At the same time, it aims to promote the well-being of family units and offer quality leisure spaces.
During the 2023-2024 academic year, 1,640 families have registered, and 30,037 babysitters have been employed.
Time Impacts:
- Facilitating work-life balance.
- Reducing the unpaid workload and supporting caregiving.
