Vacacións en Paz 2022
This is a project that offers temporal hosting families to kids that live in the Saharan refugee camps.
Each summer, Galician households, open their doors to these children for 2 months, giving them an amazing experience, that allows them to enjoy the summer in a peaceful environment.
This iniciative, is been managed in Galicia since 1991 by SOGAPS, after the request of the Arabian Saharan Democratic Republic, and along with the economic support of the Xunta de Galicia.
During the trip to the Saharan refugees camps in Algeria in the Winter of 2022 organised by SOGAPS, we realised that among other needs, road-safety education for women was lacking: there was no educational material, outdated traffic signs and the absence of a proper learning car.
Through this interational cooperation project, we aim to help by providing those in the camps with books, posters, traffic signs, white boards and the most important thing of all: an adapted car.
We also aim to develop a program where in a near future, women will be offered driving workshops during ⅔ months each year, thought by women, so they can finally get their driving liscence in a safe enviroment.
CAMPAMENTO é unha palabra polisémica. Ten moitos significados. A nós gustaríanos que este termo só evocase ao lecer educativo, ás vacacións na natureza, ás novas amizades descubertas compartindo tendas de campaña… máis non é así. Desgraciadamente, para moita xente os campamentos son o seu lugar de residencia, incluso de nacemento, e os campamentos case sempre van unidos doutros termos como refuxiados, desplazados…
Desde AVADA promovemos actividades para dar a coñecer estas dúas realidades á xuventude, dentro dos programas de “Vacacións en paz” organizado por Solidariedade Galega có Pobo Saharaui e orientados á que as crianzas saharauis desplazadas a campamentos no deserto, poidan desfrutar dos nosos veráns en compañía da mocidade local, tendendo pontes e creando lazos entre os pobos e entre as persoas.
Actividades encamiñadas á conciliación e que durante esta, a rapazada local e os nosos convidados e convidadas do Sáhara, poidan desfrutar dun espazo seguro de aprendizaxe mediante o xogo.
