On April 9, 2019 took place in Madrid the signing of the collaboration agreement between the World Compliance Association (WCA) and Envera- Asociación de Empleados de Iberia Padres de Personas con Discapacidad. Through this agreement, both organizations show their involvement in the implementation of projects related to compliance and the social and labor integration of people with disabilities.

The theater company Cuento contigo, formed by beneficiaries and professionals of the Envera Occupational Center, has premiered its new musical storyteller Cuando las niñas vuelan alto, an adaptation of the text by Raquel Díaz Reguera, with the support of Iberia and the NGO Aviación Sin Fronteras.

The project Cuento contigo aims to bring inclusion to the little ones and make visible, through theater, the capabilities of people with intellectual disabilities, breaking down prejudices and demonstrating that we can all be the best at something. This adaptation also extols other important values such as equality, respect for diversity and the desire to excel, demonstrating that with the necessary support, there are no unattainable heights for anyone.

The Blas de Otero Cultural Center hosts the exhibition Al borde del aeropuerto, part of the 20th Anniversary of PHotoESPAÑA. The photographer Antonio Martín, with intellectual disabilities and member of Envera (Association of Iberia Employees Parents of People with Disabilities), has portrayed the residents of the Alameda de Osuna neighborhood for more than twenty years. The exhibition, curated by the Mingote award winner Miguel Berrocal with the support of Iberia, can be visited from April 13.

Envera received the 2018 Sustainability Award at the second Influentials Awards gala, organized by El Confidencial and Herbert Smith Freehills, with the aim of "recognizing the most outstanding companies, managers and personalities in Spain over the past year."

In addition to Envera, the chef José Andrés (personality of the year award), the painter Antonio López (professional career award), the scientist and researcher María Vallet (professional career award), Repsol (best company of the year award), Mapfre (Spain brand award) and Bizum (most innovative company award) were also recognized.

Envera has won the Territorios Solidarios award granted by BBVA to finance with 6,000 euros the project "Movement without limits", which aims to acquire an adapted vehicle that allows the comfortable and safe mobility of people with intellectual disabilities and reduced mobility that Envera attends in its Support and Care Services and who regularly perform activities outside the facilities of the social entity.

The company "Cuento contigo", made up of beneficiaries and professionals from the Envera Occupational Center, ends its season after 25 performances that have been enjoyed by nearly 3,000 people, mostly students from schools in Madrid.

Through the musical storytelling "La cebra Camila", the twenty performers and three musicians of Envera have brought values such as inclusion, self-improvement and teamwork to the audience.

Envera closes a new edition of the Agro Envera project, in which fifteen people with disabilities have been trained and worked, with a ceremony attended by Álvaro Agustín Dávila, mayor of Tacoronte, and María Teresa Pociello, provincial president of the Red Cross.

Agro Envera is a training project in alternation with employment that Envera has provided in Tenerife throughout 2018, with the support of the Ministry of Labor, Migration and Social Security and the Canary Islands Employment Service, and which has benefited unemployed people who have been able to qualify professionally and, in turn, have an employment contract.

Envera launches its 2019 solidarity calendar made jointly with the multinational Airbus, patron of its guardianship Foundation, whose employees share the limelight with the people with intellectual disabilities that Envera assists throughout their life cycle.

The calendar reflects the values that the multinational Airbus shares with Envera, which are also those of a society committed to equal opportunities and social justice, teamwork, innovation and the desire to excel, where everyone can be the best at something and where everyone counts.

A total of 285 organizations have participated in the programs and services to promote quality employment managed by the City Council of El Prat de Llobregat. To thank them for their support, the "Companies for Employment" conference was held on November 22, where the importance of collaboration between the business community and the City Council to facilitate access and permanence of people living in the municipality to quality employment was also highlighted.
Among the distinguished organizations, Envera received for the second consecutive year the award for its participation in the 30+ and Fem Formació labor inclusion and insertion programs. The former is aimed at the employment of unemployed people over 30 years of age and the latter for the labor market insertion of unemployed young people under 25 years of age and in a situation of social exclusion.

executives of Discrecional G-18, a group made up of six leading companies in the road passenger transport sector, have presented Envera's general manager, Pedro Sobrino, with a donation of 10,000 euros for the Association's social purposes.

Discrecional G-18, which includes the companies SAMAR, Maitours, Nájera, Juliá, Vera and Grupo Ruiz, makes possible the route service that Envera's beneficiaries use daily to get to the Integral Disability Center or to go on excursions.
