Torremolinos hosts the III Disability Conference for 12 days

The Torremolinos City Council and the Los Pinares Special Employment Center have organized the third Disability Days of Torremolinos, which will take place from November 22 to December 3. "Disability does not define anyone. What defines us is the strength with which we face life and the way we recognize others as equals. Talking about disability is not talking about limits, but about opportunities. About people who teach the world every day that true talent is not always measured in skills, but in bravery, perseverance, effort, and hope," declared the Councilor for Social Welfare, Gloria Manoja, during the presentation of the days. Among the extensive program of activities, the celebration on Saturday, November 29, of the III National Autism Congress City of Torremolinos stands out, organized by the Autism Sur Foundation and the Autism Chair of the University of Malaga, with an informative and practical approach. It will take place at the Torremolinos Congress Palace, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and will feature the participation of Pau Brunet, a 12-year-old boy who has become a real social phenomenon on social networks, where he makes his autism visible from a personal and youthful perspective. The Autism Sur Orientation team will also participate, an educational project created by teachers Ginés Ciudad-Real and María José de Luis, which promotes inclusive, creative, and accessible education with free resources. Registration is already open through the Entradium platform where you can purchase a single pass or a package that includes two more activities within the program Knowledge and good practices in autism that makes up this congress, along with two more days that will take place in Malaga.
