PROYECTOS
Culture
ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCES THROUGH TECHNOLOGY.
Since 2016, through a collaborative agreement, we have been providing the necessary technology so that Palmyra Teatro, a pioneering company in artistic and social integration with diverse abilities, could present shows adapted for all types of audiences.
In this last year of 2023, the National Dance Company has joined this collaboration, incorporating the technology of our agreement and the advice of Palmyra Teatro and CESyA, to make their creations accessible to all audiences.
The technology we contribute to this project enables attention to diversity among the audience with hearing, sensory, visual, intellectual, and physical disabilities. This represents a firm intention to make dance and theater accessible through resources such as audio-description for people with visual disabilities, as well as the service of a magnetic loop and amplified sound for people with hearing disabilities.
Before the audio-described performances, there is an opportunity to have a tactile tour to explore the universe of the stage space and its textures through models, as well as the tips and fabrics of the characters’ costumes.
Social Action
JOB TRAINING
We continue to cooperate hand in hand with the Juanjo Torrejón Foundation, in its programs to enhance the autonomy of people who are unemployed or seeking better employment, promoting their ability to achieve labor and economic stability.
The active job search of individuals in socially vulnerable situations becomes one of the priority actions, constantly adapting and improving. This is something the Juanjo Torrejón Foundation addresses through pathways such as: Information and advice, resume creation, Information Technology workshops, job interview preparation, workshops on procedures and management. All of this is delivered through social workers, volunteers, and career counselors.
Education
ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL SUPPORT FOR ADOLESCENTS.
We are excited to start our collaboration with Agora’s Revolution, an association focused on adolescent care, with a broad and comprehensive vision of education in both formal (academic) and non-formal (leisure and free time, social skills development, and sense of belonging) contexts.
The main goal of the project is to provide academic support to adolescents who are studying secondary school, basic vocational training, middle grade, or high school. Additionally, within the socio-educational character of the association, workshops, educational talks, and excursions are conducted. The structure of this association is horizontal, with the assembly being the governing body, thus promoting the autonomy of the youth and their motivation to become agents of societal change and evolution.
