SUPERHERO is a project focused on raising awareness not only among students but also among families, educational staff, and the entire community about their capacity to address everyday challenges. Its main goal is to highlight people's ability to face difficulties and those working in worthy causes, such as non-profit organizations, health professionals, volunteers, among others. The project focuses on developing personal and interpersonal skills in students aged 12 to 16. It aims to enhance their competencies, strengths, self-esteem, and self-knowledge while fostering a sense of community during a crucial period for personality development and the onset of adolescence. The superhero concept serves as a guide to instill values like gender equality, empathy, entrepreneurship, cooperation, and awareness of one's own and others' capabilities.

The results consist of a series of 21 videos created by each of the institutions participating in the project from each partner country. In these videos, students from educational centers interview a person who, for young people, could be considered a 'superhero' due to their contribution to society, either through their work or other aspects of their personal life that have transcended to modify and/or contribute to an improvement in the immediate environment. They may even engage in activities that impact the rest of the world. These videos have been created following common guidelines, ensuring uniformity in terms of format, while also capturing the richness provided by the unique characteristics of each country.
