Oasis Center is located in the heart of Lavapiés, Madrid, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Europe, where over 90 nationalities are represented. The center’s primary mission is to bridge the growing gap between the marginalized immigrant population in Madrid and the larger Spanish society through non-formal and holistic education. Throughout the year, Oasis Center offers various educational programs such as Spanish literacy, English, after-school help for children, as well as fine arts courses such as music, painting and dance. At the heart of each class, our priority is to develop meaningful relationships inside and outside the classroom that will lead our students toward a healthy and successful future.    

Beyond providing access to practical skills and resources that directly address the needs of the community, Oasis Center is a safe space for people of diverse backgrounds to find community and inclusion despite their social isolation and economic challenges.
