In 2021 we learned that Spain had not met the poverty and social exclusion reduction target to which it had committed with Europe, according to the latest report by EAPN-ES (European Anti Poverty Network-European Network for the Fight against Poverty and Social Exclusion in Spain). The pandemic, in recent years, has also had a major negative impact on the most vulnerable groups. A reality that becomes more visible in neighborhoods of preferential action such as La Coma.
For Jovesólides, an organization focused on placing the social inclusion of all people at the center, these have been years of applying creativity and intensifying actions that favor it. And working every day in a neighborhood where 70 nationalities converge is a richness that the organization takes advantage of to create activities that generate encounters, dialogue and intercultural knowledge.
The Christmas and Summer days have become traditional. These gather neighbors and social organizations of the neighborhood and are a celebration of the community built among all.
Another important day, with which the organization vindicates diversity and which is organized annually, is the day of celebration for the end of Ramadan. A playful event that this year was specifically used to break down prejudices about Muslim culture through gamification.
In addition, sports and art are regularly used by the organization as tools to stimulate social and educational inclusion and to favor the regeneration of community ties in the neighborhood.
In recent years, the participation of the neighborhood's younger community has been remarkable. Children and adolescents who are part of the Kumpania socio-educational program developed by the organization have joined these activities together with their families.
