Madrid | April 2, 2019
Students from Colegio San José, Colmenar Viejo, and students from Artesis Plantijn University College Antwerp, Belgium, have been our protagonists of the program that, during this morning, we have improvised thinking of a day basically of open doors to different educational centers. We were also expecting 32 students from Arturo Soria College, Madrid, but it was not possible.
In the case of Colegio San José, the students of 4th ESO, are part of the San José-Enterprise project, where the students have chosen one of the assistance services provided by Envera, to live a real experience of the work we do and that they would like to do in the future. This is an orientation that will undoubtedly help them when deciding on a profession.
The five Belgian university students had the objective of getting to know us closely and see what our day-to-day work is like in each of the services we provide at Envera. The result is to incorporate it in their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project.
Prior to the visit to the radio studio, the special program had already begun with one of the students of Colegio San José, Juan. Juanchi, which is his stage name, had chosen Radio Terrícola for his vocation as a singer, as an artist. Our friend has experienced the group dynamics that are performed daily and where the different groups of the Occupational Center, on this occasion led by Mariacar and Manu, both teachers, take part.
Songs, anecdotes of the weekend at the farm school, the poems of the great Pacheco and the exploits of Pablo Notario, with his boat Pablo II, in Nerja, introduced the interventions of Jantien, a Belgian student and translator, and the students of Colegio San José.
The
We found it curious the fact that five students come from Belgium, a small delegation of students, to a town like Colmenar Viejo. Surprising and enviable is to hear how they met us on the internet and why they decided to visit us to see how our association is and how we work. They have seen and known how we are, how we work and what is our daily challenge. They told us that they did not expect something so big and with so much capacity, for example, in the special employment center. Basically, they liked the experience very much, says Jantien.
After a few hours in the different activities of the center, the students of Colegio San José, tell us that it helps a lot to know and experience how are the jobs they would like to dedicate themselves to and the great involvement involved.
We hope that you have fulfilled all your expectations and that today's visit will not remain a mere anecdote, but that in the future our paths will cross again and we can share the way we understand the world of intellectual disabilities.
Thank you very much for your visit and we wish you a bright future as professionals committed to the most vulnerable.
See you soon! Tot snel!
