Solidarity Day on the occasion of World Autism and Down Syndrome Day
Students from UCAMPACITAS, the Faculty of Education and the Instituto Superior de FP San Antonio organise interactive activities to raise awareness on the Murcia Campus
This morning, the Plaza de las Pérgolas on the UCAM Los Jerónimos Campus hosted the event 'DOWN x TEA: Lead your Future with Diversity', an initiative framed within the commemoration of World Down Syndrome Day (21 March) and World Autism Awareness Day, which is celebrated today, 2 April.
Organised by students and teachers of the UCAMPACITAS programme, together with the Faculty of Education and the Instituto Superior de Formación Profesional San Antonio (San Antonio Vocational Education & Training School), the event brought university and vocational training students together in a space of coexistence, awareness and celebration of diversity.
The activities included adapted chess, a charity market and various dynamics and participative workshops. The programme encouraged inclusion and teamwork between students with and without disabilities, promoting respect, empathy and leadership in diverse contexts.
