NEWS
Opening ceremony of the UniDiversity program
On October 4 the opening ceremony of the UniDiversity program was held, a specific training program for students with intellectual disabilities and/or autism in which 16 young people will participate thanks to this initiative promoted by the ONCE Foundation and the European Social Fund and which aims to promote and develop programs for employment and university inclusion of young people with intellectual disabilities, in order to improve job prospects and quality of life of students with intellectual disabilities who participate in it.
The event was chaired by Fernando Viñado, Vice Rector for Comprehensive Training, and was attended by representatives of all the entities participating in the development of the program: the Juan XXIII Foundation, the ONCE Foundation, and, of course, the students of the program and their families.
It was an endearing event in which we warmly welcomed the students to our university, encouraging them to make the most of the experience by taking advantage of every opportunity they are given. We also emphasized the importance of these programs for the social and labor inclusion of people with disabilities

17 young people with intellectual disabilities will be trained at the UFV
17 young people with intellectual disabilities will be trained next academic year at the Francisco de Vitoria University thanks to the UniDiversity initiative, promoted by the ONCE Foundation. This initiative has the financial support of the European Social Fund through the Youth Employment Operational Program. The aim of this project is to promote and develop training programs for employment and university inclusion of young people with intellectual disabilities in order to improve job prospects and quality of life of students with intellectual disabilities participating in the program.
The course is entitled “Web design, accessibility and usability in web environment for people with intellectual disabilities, developmental and / or autism spectrum”, and in it the students will take a training that will consist of five training modules, four of them theoretical and one of work experience.
Within each of the theoretical learning modules, students will have a series of inclusive sessions thanks to the participation of different degrees of the university, making their training a practical learning, cross-cutting and applied to the work reality that they will have to perform.
This project is coordinated from University Extension, through the Department of Social Action and from the Support Service for People with Additional Needs (SAPNE), which will promote the inclusion of students in the different activities and training proposals of campus life.
The training that the students will receive in this course will provide them with useful skills to improve their autonomy, increase their knowledge, and acquire strategies that will allow them to better face the working world.
The official presentation of this program will take place on the UFV campus next October 5 at . It will take place at 12:00 noon in the Conference Room of Building H.
ROUND TABLE FOR THE DAY OF SOCIAL INCLUSION
On March 2, the first round table organized by the Support Service for People with Additional Needs took place in commemoration of the International Day of Social Inclusion.
The main aim of this first activity organized by our service was to raise awareness, normalize and give visibility to disability in the university environment, as well as to reflect on the personal and social situation of people with disabilities today in our immediate environment
The activity was moderated by Carola Diaz de Lope Diaz, director of the School of University Leadership and first-hand knowledge of the social circumstances of people with disabilities.
In addition, we had the testimony of Dani Alonso, Alumni of the degree of physiotherapy with physical disabilities. He told us about his experience at the university, the social barriers he had encountered, the progress he had seen in this regard and the things that, in his opinion, still need to be done to promote and ensure the social improvement and inclusion of students with functional diversity at the university.
Later we held a round table with the participation of other speakers who, either from their own experience or direct contact with disability, had much to say about it.
They gave, from their own experience, answers to questions such as: What is disability for you? What has your life been like living with disability? How has society progressed? What remains to be done? What has disability taught you? What are the biggest barriers you face every day? etc.
We also had the representation of two students from the Avanza program, a project in collaboration with the Promiva Foundation and the Virgen de Lourdes School through which children with intellectual disabilities study adapted courses at the university, with the aim of providing training to improve the employability and university inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities.
It was a great opportunity to give a voice to people with disabilities in the university environment, raise awareness of their situation and reflect on what remains to be done socially to improve their quality of life
AUTISM DAY CAMPAIGN
Last April 2, in commemoration of the World Autism Awareness Day, the Early Childhood and Primary Education Grades, together with SAPNE, carried out an awareness campaign with the slogan “People with autism do not live in their world, they live in ours”.
This day was established in 2007 by the General Assembly of the United Nations, with the aim of highlighting the need to contribute to improve the quality of life of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and promote their inclusion in all areas of society as full citizens
There is still much to be done to promote the full social inclusion of people with ASD, both in terms of care and attention, as well as education and support in all facets of their lives, hence the importance of awareness campaigns such as the one we conducted.
The campaign consisted of distributing a blue ribbon to the university community to commemorate this day, accompanied by a card with the chosen slogan, inviting everyone to use the ribbon to give visibility to this day
