HISTORY

  • Jovesolides was created in 1999 in the priority area of La Coma, in Paterna, but its origins go back to 1995. That year, ‘La Coma’ Colegio Mayor was established. At that time, the educational body’s young students were providing support to the neighbourhood’s residents and associations, and they organised and formed the association. Objective: to provide continuity for the various solidarity initiatives that have been developed. The essence of such a unique context, full of intercultural richness and social commitment, and led by youth, has guided each step taken by the organisation

Lourdes Mirón

Pragmatic perfectionist. Inefficiency bores me, perhaps that is why I am so obsessed with social innovation. I am almost as passionate about leading and managing non-profit organisations as I am about communication. I like to listen, and there is often more to learn from people who have not had it easy.

I studied the great unknown of the sciences: chemistry. ​But as it turned out, I was more interested in understanding and explaining the world through people. After putting down the test tubes, what I like most is to see the social impact of an action, and how it is possible to contribute to real social justice that is not simply a utopia. I work in the Third Sector, but I reject the labels that go along with that. I like strategic planning, and I feel comfortable looking for different ways of doing things in a sector that still has a long way to go. I enjoy being a bridge between Arab and Hispanic culture. I am always delving into social media. As they say, practice makes perfect... so I am always singing to help me relax.

Communicator by profession, and committed to social causes by calling. I have transitioned away from the media to be a part of the social sector that has always fascinated me. I enjoy what I do, but above all, I am grateful that my efforts benefit people. I hate injustice and ill temper. And I love nature, family (in a broader sense), and writing. Why is there a pen in my photo? It evokes the part of my nature that I like so much and the idea of writing as a form of expression!

I am a renegade economist who does not like making decisions. But one of the best ones I have made was to do a Masters in Employment and Labour Market Intervention, my ticket to Jovesolides. I only like constructive things, learning relentlessly, and sharing.

Graphic designer at Jovesolides, although I also put my talent to endless other tasks. Incurable perfectionist. I insist that a picture is worth a thousand words. The best thing about my job is contributing to the visibility of projects that improve social reality.

Enthusiastic by flag. This I apply in every sphere of my existence. My heartbeat has connections in distant places, but only mileage. I have an inclination to not stop learning. Now, the "Peace Master" changed my life. Legal is social. Social is political.

I work as a dynamizing technician at Espai La Coma. I feel a great vocation for services to the community and I have great experience working with different groups. I am passionate about sport, specifically tennis. Every year I compete in Federated tournaments and I inevitably relate the game of tennis to real life. On and off the court I not only work to outperform myself every day, but to give my best to the people around me.

I have always defined myself as an ant: organized and cooperative. Someone who likes to get together with more people, someone who likes to do what they call teamwork. I love the world of health education and international cooperation. I think I have the superpower to learn something new every day, which, although it may not seem so because of my height, makes me grow a lot. The strategic plan of my life? Travel whenever I can, because it is the most enriching way to learn.

I am a social worker by vocation, I have always fought for just causes, in fact in school they called me Teresa of Calcutta. You are not going to find a person more flexible and more stubborn than me. I love traveling as a family although I do not do everything I would like. I hate lying and feeling stuck in the rut. I am also not passionate about aging, although it is irretrievable with the passage of time. A vital challenge: backpacking around the world and starting the adventure in Latin America.

As fate wanted me to be a social integrator. I realised that what enriched me the most was the power to help others. I consider myself to be an approachable person, kind and fun. At first glance, you might think I am a little shy, but every time we glance at each other, you will see that I will smile at you. I am also empathetic, observational and not very talkative. And I like to surround myself with humble people, who radiate kindness and make me feel at home. Something very important for me is family. I prioritise and highly value spending time with them, sharing and enjoying ourselves. Among my passions...I can talk to you about artistic photography. I love to develop my creativity through this hobby, capturing unique moments that also transmit a message. Well as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Ah! And as much as I can, I try to travel, well it fascinates me to know the world. Next destination?

I am a woman, migrant, feminist and socially committed since I was very young. I started my activism in Argentina, in my community, with my people, but little by little I felt the need to move, to get to know other realities and cultures. While trying to find my identity I arrived in Spain, a country that entangles part of my mixed genetic heritage. I studied Nursing and Biology, two passions that I could not continue to study in this country. Here I learned that borders are much more than lines drawn on a map and to not stop insisting to follow my dreams. This was how I found my place studying social intergration. I feel fortunate to be able to live the life that I live!

I have a degree in psychology, and no, I'm not going to psychoanalyse you, mainly because you don't want me to. My motto is that each person is unique, original and irreplacable, therefore, my vocation is people. I wanted to dedicate myself to so many things that I ended up dedicating myself to the social field, because I believe that in order to change the world, small works in specific places are essential. Sport is an essential part of my life and despite the fact that I am now an adult I consider myself to be eternally young. I love to nourish myself with conversations, because I believe that even the most absurd ones fills us with wisdom. At Jovesólides, I learn more everyday about my colleagues and myself, but most of all I learn about the 'everyday people' that I meet every day at the interventions.

I am a teacher, lover of education and always in continuous training because there are no limits that stop me from continuing to learn. Giving answers to the challenges of education is one of my expectations and, for this, we must change our outlook and learn to observe from new perspectives. I love to escape on a trip whenever I can and surround myself with my people. Although at first I seem to be a serious person, the truth is that I still carry the cheerful and clown girl that I was.

I have a degree in Psychology and an enthusiasm for social intervention. I observe, listen attentively and always find myself in a permanent state of learning. I have my whole life ahead of me, and for pure pleasure, one of my missions is to travel all possible beaches: from Menorca to Zanzibar, and so let the sea breeze improve my breathing in this crazy world. Something I also get by devoting hours to painting mandalas. I love being surrounded by diverse people and sharing time with my friends and family. I hate getting up early because dreaming with my eyes closed also nourishes me. I do not like the cold and the darkness of winter. And my mind always wanders towards the moon when I imagine travelling in a van, touring the smallest town or the most cosmopolitan city.

I am a pedagogue, but in case it was insufficient I specialized in Psychopedagogy to enrich myself with the wonders of the social field. I love to surround myself with people whose contributions make me learn and grow without limit. My vital motto is carpe diem (seize the day). Therefore, if you stumble upon me, you will discover that I am cheerful, outgoing and optimistic without limit. Although, beware, I sometimes have an irrepressible impulsiveness. My dream would be to eat and not get fat. But I am sure that my work at Jovesólides will bring me something more valuable.

I am a social worker by profession and by vocation. I am passionate about putting everything on my side to improve people's lives. I seriously aspire every day to do my bit to improve the world in which we live, but always dressing with a big smile. About me you have to know that sometimes I am too introverted and that fortunately empathy with others invades me. I have an unalterable interest in continuing to train and grow both personally and professionally. And I love to travel and enjoy a day of nature!

I am an educator by vocation. I started studying languages and ended up in social. With interest in everything in general, and always with the best initiative to help the people around me. I declare myself a lover of the books of Albert Espinosa, of the food of almost any country and of the walks shared with Elsa, my adored dog. In addition, I consider myself restless, nonconformist, persevering and a spelling superfan.

I am a social integrator who is fascinated by nature, music, people and animals. The order of factors does not alter my fascination. I define myself as sentipensante, as one of my favorite writers, Eduardo Galeano, would say, because I like it when head and heart go hand in hand. And I think there is nothing impossible. I hate lies, injustices and fear. And I consider that something essential in life is to be happy, that we must laugh as much as we can and cry whenever we need it.

JOVESOLIDES AROUND THE WORLD

JOVESOLIDES NETWORK

The Jovesolides Network is a solidarity and participatory movement focused on youth. It is made up of local associations with common objectives and operates as an ‘association of associations’ from various countries in Latin America, Spain and Morocco. Its main purpose is to promote leadership of young people in development in communities from which people traditionally migrate, by generating opportunities in those communities to engage youth locally.
The Network aims to consolidate an international movement of young people working on a level playing field. Its purpose is to change the nature of North-South relations, especially considering the presence of the South in the North because of migration and co-development.

The Network presently includes: Colombia, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Morocco, and Spain.
