Juegaterapia

Monica Esteban, the founder, in 2010 gave a Play Station to a boy who was going through a chemotherapy treatment in hospital and, immediately, she was able to observe how the little boy cheered up and faced his illness with a smile. Since then, we've been able to witness on a daily basis how playing games provide tremendous benefits for hospitalized children. Being away from home, away from their family and in an unknown environment, the hospital experience intimidates them. This is when video games, the tablet and the possibility of playing in a garden without leaving the hospital become a fundamental tool to connect with the world and make them forget where they are, at least while the game lasts.

The WFD is a federation of deaf organisations from 134 nations; its mission is to promote the human rights of deaf people and full, quality and equal access to all spheres of life, including self-determination, sign language, education, employment and community life. WFD has a consultative status in the United Nations and is a founding member of International Disability Alliance (IDA). At its recent World Congress in Jeju, South Korea, WFD members (136) approved the WFD strategic direction 2023-2030 and Action Plan 2023-2027. Important themes are covered in these 2 documents which strive to ensure that we create access for all deaf people to all ways of life in "a world where deaf people everywhere can sign anywhere" (vision). Furthermore, our mission is to work towards the full realisation of linguistic rights and human rights in all areas of life, with full recognition and implementation of these rights across local, national and international levels. To realise our mission and vision, the following are part of our Action Plan 2023-2027: Building Capacity across the Globe: ensuring increased participation of women, youth and underrepresented communities; provide effective capacity building projects to countries who are not yet members to assist them with creating their own national deaf associations so that they can represent themselves in their countries; Putting Deaf people on the Agenda: the WFD will continue to strive to put deaf human rights at the forefront of all representation internationally, including at the UN; we will effectively promote International Week of Deaf people and be ready to response to deaf people's needs in times of crises, disasters and war. Realising nothing about us without us: the WFD continues to be the leading authority for deaf people and sign languages and has committed to developing resources to assist deaf people raise awareness in their countries. Achieving Sign Language Rights for all: National sign languages are fundamental to achieving deaf people's human rights. We will aim to assist our member states in promoting the legal recognition of signed language in the country and advocate for early childhood language acquisition and inclusive multilingual education policies. Investing in a strong and sustainable organisation: to carry out our mission and vision we need greater investment in our secretariat and regional secretariat, expand our donor base, increase visibility and fundraising activities so that our organisation can carry on its important global work.

INICIATIVES SOLIDARIES

The Initiatives Solidaries association began to take shape around 1992 at the initiative of a group of people who were aware of the situation of exclusion of disadvantaged young people and people in a situation of deprivation of liberty in the city of Valencia. These people, involved in different socio-educational projects of the Domus Pacis Association, created Iniciatives Solidaries in July 1993, a non-profit, independent association, with its own legal personality and full capacity to act, administer, dispose of its assets and give a comprehensive response to the problems of the aforementioned group. Based on a common philosophical and methodological affinity, we began with an objective, to prevent situations of social exclusion with minors, young people, prisoners and former prisoners while raising awareness in society about this problem and involving it in change through awareness and volunteering. Since the beginning of its journey, there have been many people who have passed through the entity, many difficulties and needs that have been overcome and many hopes for which it continues to work in favor of prevention, integration of the most disadvantaged and in favor of solidarity. Throughout this time, projects have been consolidated, intervention pathways developed and adapted, networks and collaboration forums expanded; Work has been done for the solidarity of citizens with the most disadvantaged and new channels of social participation have been opened. We managed to be declared a Public Utility Entity in 2009 (NAL 125077). Step by step, programs, work formulas, specialized care, centers, agreements and collaborations have been strengthened. At Initiatives Solidaries we are a non-profit association regulated by LO 1/2002 of March 22, accredited as a Second Chance School of Valencia that has carried out our work since 1993 with the aim of contributing to the social well-being of the community by preventing situations of social exclusion in especially disadvantaged sectors: adolescents, young people at risk of social exclusion and people who are or have been deprived of liberty. To achieve this, we intervene from comprehensive training, developing individualized educational, training and socio-labor insertion itineraries taking into account their needs and difficulties, and which affect the lines of protection of minors, basic education, vocational training, personal and interpersonal competence, information, participation. community, advice and socio-labor guidance through the Second Chance Schools model, pioneering and legitimized, closely linked to the business sector, recognized and supported by public institutions. The scope and extension of Initiatives Solidares is national, developing our actions mainly in the Valencian Community. The entity has three centers that are located in the city of Valencia, in the neighborhoods of Torrefiel, Benimamet and Tres Forques, and two inside the Valencia Penitentiary Center, located in the town of Picassent. In addition, we have a large multidisciplinary team, made up of professionals from the social and volunteer fields, working in networks with different entities and organizations in the social, labor and educational fields to achieve our goals.
