Now the project is readapted to continue supporting children and families during the school year.
Throughout the summer campaign, Fundesplai has dynamized the Temps x Cures Ukraine program, an initiative of the Department of Equality and Feminism of the Generalitat de Catalunya Aimed at offering recreational, social and educational care in the field of leisure to Ukrainian children and young people (between 0 and 16 years old). The program with this welcoming and childcare space also provides personal respite time for families refugees from the conflict in Ukraine.
This initiative has made it possible to offer during the summer spaces for reception and attention for educational leisure and emotional care to more than 1,600 Ukrainian children and young people who are in emergency accommodation and foster care, while supporting their families. The program has made it possible to offer safe spaces for play, learning, socialization, language literacy…
Jordi Álvarez, head of Socio-educational, Socio-labour and Migration Programmes at Fundesplai, highlighted the work and bond made by the professional team while promoting socialization and relationships between children and adolescents. In addition, the educational proposal has promoted respect for one’s own emotions and those of others, and the willingness to share (or not) the emotions and experiences of the participants.
The program has been carried out in the territorial areas of Terres de l’Ebre, Central Catalonia, Barcelonès, Baix Llobregat, Maresme, Garraf, Vallès, Girona, Tarragona and Lleida.
Time x Care Ukraine, however, remains now that the school year has begun. It is planned that this program of reception and dynamization of educational leisure and emotional care for Ukrainian children and young people will continue to develop in the afternoons or with work extracted with the educational centers where the children are schooled, supporting their inclusion.
