Celebrating Childhood: The “Superabuela” Project in Fuerteventura
Overview of the Initiative
In the picturesque setting of Fuerteventura, the Insular Childhood Service of the Cabildo, along with local municipalities, is kicking off a series of engaging activities to commemorate Children’s Day on November 20. At the heart of this initiative is the project titled “Superabuela,” spearheaded by Cristina Bermúdez and Daniel Negrín. This innovative program aims to create a bridge between families, students, and educators, fostering emotional competencies in a fun and scientifically grounded manner.
Goals of the Project
Victor Alonso, the Social Action Councillor, highlights the multidimensional nature of the project. Its primary goal is to instill a sense of individual responsibility among children while providing them with the tools they need to navigate their identities. Furthermore, it is designed to promote a society that values respect, inclusivity, and diversity, encouraging children to be conscious of their roots.
Event Schedule
The “Superabuela” festivities are set to take place from November 15 to 17. These days will be dedicated to emotional education through various interactive games and activities, aimed at helping children manage their emotions and contribute to their overall healthy development during critical formative years.
