The project: “Furniture restoration and transformation assistant” of Fundación Personas
in Cuéllar has been selected by CaixaBank y Caja Segovia Foundation in the call of
‘Ayudas de Acción Social 2022‘, which aims to promote local development and employment,
by supporting sectors of the population at risk of social exclusion and improving the
quality of life of people with disabilities, the elderly or other socially
vulnerable groups.
One more year the entity Fundación Personas in Cuéllar will launch a new project
training for a total of 14 people with intellectual disabilities of the day centers and occupational
, thanks to this economic collaboration with the Caja Segovia Foundation and
CaixaBank.
The objective of this project is to train in the skills and abilities, as well as in the social and communicational values
necessary to perform the tasks and functions
of the kitchen assistant profile, to a group of people with intellectual disabilities from the
Ntra. Sra. de los Ángeles Center of Fundación Personas Cuéllar
that will allow them in the short term to have an occupational, therapeutic and rehabilitative training activity in their center.
The group of people with intellectual disabilities demand training that allows in the short term
provide an occupation to them, (protected occupational activity and
supported). Therefore, we have raised a concrete, close and realistic project using the
own means of the Mar de Pinares de Cuéllar Centers, for the development of a training
in the profile of kitchen assistant with training in healthy eating.
We have adapted to the current situation and the context we are currently living due to the
pandemic of Covid19, providing the necessary preventive and security measures to
provide training with all the guarantees, and in the pedagogical modalities that are
required.
The program will develop activities such as:
● Learning basic processes of furniture restoration and finishing.
● Knowing and using the tools and equipment necessary for the activity.
● Activities to apply basic notions of carpentry applied to the
restoration of furniture
● Putting into practice the techniques of pictorial restoration.
● Activities to maintain and develop appropriate professional relationships
with team members. Effective communication with the appropriate
people at all times, conveying the information that
is necessary.
● Conduct training activities that reflect the importance of
sustainability and recycling.
The project began this June and is scheduled to end on November 11, 2022,
and is intended to be maintained over time. The same
will carry out the theoretical training at the Ntra. Sra. de los Ángeles Center and the practical training at
the facilities and services of the Fundación Personas centers in Cuéllar.
The main objective of these trainings is to achieve normalization, inclusion and improvement
of the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities, and / or development as the
work favors their personal autonomy, their participation in community life and improve
their level of self-esteem.
