On Tuesday, June 25, the 2018-19 course of the 'Educating in Family' project took place.

An initiative that is being carried out by the Abraham Project Association, in the Virgen de la Caridad district, with the collaboration of the Department of Social Services of the City of Cartagena.

The event was held in the social premises of the neighborhood where the project is carried out throughout the year, with the assistance of the coordinator of Social Services, Lucía Hernández, the coordinator of the Municipal Center for Social Services, Rosario de Benito, the president of the Association of Neighbors, Juan Gómez Ayala and the president of the Abraham Project Association, Toñi Villarino, as well as technicians and project collaborators.

'Educating in family' is a training project that was born 5 years ago to improve the performance of children in school, strengthening, in addition, their personal and social skills, working with mothers and fathers, including them, in the process of maturation of his sons and daughters.

In this fifth edition of the project, school support has been given to 44 children, from 5th grade to 3º ESO, providing them with the necessary tools to develop academically and personally.

This year, also, a 'Textile Electronics' workshop for young people has been developed, which has had 8 students.

The workshop has put its final touch with the participation of these in the festival Much May May 2019 of Cartagena, exhibiting a light-conceptual installation based on their reflections on the neighborhood in which they live, which can be seen on the facade of the Neighborhood Association.

They have also developed Spanish classes for mothers and guardians of minors, improving their quality of life and since the month of October, a workshop on 'Sustainable Textile' has been held, in which 27 women, starting with textiles recycled, have given a new life to these, turning them into new clothes and learning different techniques such as embroidery.

These actions converge in the purpose of the program, which is to give a prosperous future based on the integral learning of the people, counting on the support of the family and the community.

In the act, all the participants have been able to see different videos with the photos of the activities during the whole course, ending with the delivery of diplomas to all the participants of the program and a snack for all their assistants.
