By Claudia Zapata | Coordinator

Interinstitutional Achievements and with the Social Network:

We continued to strengthen agreements and alliances for young people to have opportunities and strengthen their life projects, with job training, complementary studies, technical, technological or university, leisure, culture and recreation, validation studies, support for higher education, social goods and services, among others.

  • A girl continued her training in violin with the Network of Music Schools.
  • Two young people continued in kung fu sports workshops.
  • Two young people continued their training in high school, modality validation.
  • Two girls finished training cycle in Basic and International Cuisine.  

In the 2016, a positive agreement was signed with the Institution Rehabilitation Committee, where 40 adolescents with cognitive disabilities were treated monthly in themes and experiences related to the environment and human relations laboratory. 

Volunteering was continued with the company Bancolombia, who supported, economically and humanely, the assembly of the learning space of the orchard. 

The Volunteer was continued with professionals of the company Nutresa in the project "Tutors of Life", through which they provided support to 6 young graduates in the line of work group and life project.

Activities with families

8 families served through meetings, contacts, advice and home family visits, in order to analyze the social and family situations of some young people and bring them to programs, goods and services or various supports from the Superarse Corporation as grants, access to school places, access to food programs, health referrals, referrals to sources of employment, among others.

• Promotion and dissemination activities were carried out on 82 children and adolescents of Corporación Superarse.

• In the quarter, the skills of Creative Thinking, Critical Thinking, Decision Making, Emotion Management, management capacity, pedagogical output, closing and evaluation of the annual process were worked out.

• During the quarter, 30 follow-up visits were made to young people, home visits or visits to other institutions where they receive protection services or in a personal way, in order to know how their life plans are going.

• 4 young people were linked to complementary training processes such as: Seminar and conference on personal leadership.

 

Testimony of an 18 year old

"From the age of 8 I have been doing my process in the Corporation, here I feel in family, study, make friends, practice soccer, that I love, and prepare for life.

At the moment I advance my studies in the Technician in Repair and Maintenance of Computers.

I am a humble person, I am noble, happy, I do not like conflicts or discriminations, I do not like to treat anyone badly.

In Corporación Superarse I share with all these people who so much support me in the evolution of my process to get ahead, looking for my well-being and being useful to society. "
