In summer, already complex family situations are added to the alteration of habitual routines such as changes in schedules and spaces or long periods without access to training activities. Therefore, given the urgency of the situation, we could not stay out of the way and we have worked tirelessly during these weeks to offer an alternative of educational leisure to these families, hence the imminent implementation of an educational space for integration and social equality ".
Mateos reported on the objective of the project "to create a playful place with educational activities that fundamentally seeks integration and social equality. We also want to provide these children with a healthy and creative use of their free time during the holiday period, in addition to facilitate the self-esteem and autonomy of each one of them by promoting equality and social integration.The main tool will be the game, through which the child achieves an integral development taking into account the importance of the game in the early stages of childhood, the safest way to give them self-confidence and independence, and to provide them with satisfactory relationships with others and their surroundings. "

"

"
For its part, the Councilor for Education explained that "in order to establish the criteria to follow as to which students would be the beneficiaries, from the City Council, we have contacted the Red Cross, Cepaim or Caritas to know the data of the possible beneficiaries of this service, data that we have collated with the Department of Social Services and, for now, we will have about twenty children. "

A project for which its implementation requires prior planning that did not exist before our arrival. And, therefore, during In recent weeks, we have been working and carrying out all the necessary procedures to start this dining room with all the guarantees for the little ones to whom we will guarantee at least one decent daily meal, which in many cases is the main support that families they can give their children. "
