We want to share with you the activities we have been doing for the past three months. As usual we continue our work to raise awareness, so were with our self-advocates at the at the Universidad del Norte during the inclusion week distributing around 300 copies of our book about myths.

60 schools were benefit with our strategy No 2 are alike; during the last 6 months 592 workshops were held, with the total participation of 9,720 primary students. The success of this initiative has been overwhelming and was certified by the 300 inclusion promoters who participated actively. We closed this program with a great event where students could show some of the additional proposals developed in their schools to boost issues related to inclusion

We also hold awareness talks and information with university students, doctors and families.

There is still much to do, but we are on track. Today we wanted to make a stop on the way to once again say "THANK YOU" to those who with their contributions are enabling this change in our society

Queremos compartir con ustedes las actividades que hemos estado haciendo durante los últimos tres meses. Como de costumbre, continuamos con nuestro trabajo de cocientización ; con nuestros grupo de autogestores  participamos  en la Universidad del Norte durante la semana de inclusión, distribuyendo alrededor de 300 ejemplares de nuestro libro sobre mitos.

60 colegios se beneficiaron con la estrategia “No Hay 2Iguales” que desarrollamos  durante los últimos 6 meses, con la cual realizamos 592 talleres,  con la participación total de 9.720 estudiantes de básica primaria. El éxito de esta iniciativa ha sido contundente y así lo afirman los 300 promotores de inclusión que participaron activamente en ella. Dimos cierre a este programa con un gran evento donde los estudiantes pudieron mostrar parte de las propuestas adicionales desarrolladas en sus colegios para dinamizar los temas relacionados con la inclusión.

Durante este periodo también llevamos a cabo charlas de  información y formación a estudiantes universitarios,  médicos y familias.

Aún hay mucho por hacer, pero vamos por buen camino. Hoy hemos querido hacer un alto en el camino para decirle una vez más  “GRACIAS” a quienes con su aporte están haciendo posible este cambio en nuestra sociedad
