During the month of February the FPSC took part in a radio program conducted by sixth grade students from the UVA neighbourhood of Hortaleza, it met residents with intellectual disabilities from the occupational centre of Nuestra Señora del Camino and participated in a workshop on social innovation in education with students of Teaching from the URJC University.


Last February 5, we were lucky to participate in the “The voice of the school” school radio program prepared, directed and presented in its entirety by sixth grade students of the San Miguel Public School, located in an area with social and marked economic difficulties. This activity has a very important educational and social component, and it has great acceptance among the kids.

Erwin, Arantxa, Almudena, Alessandro and Zheng Hao conducted an interview with our Director of Communication, José Luis Zatarain, on the Syrian war, the situation of refugees and the work of the foundation in the refugee camps of Za’atari and Azraq in the north of Jordan.
