The Euroweekly News Group
(ESTEPONA) MORE than 250 students
from different schools participated in the third
programme on disability called ‘Estepona – city
without barriers’. A total of 1,063 questionnaires
were answered among educational centres in the town to
find out what they thought about the disabled and 38
talks laid on about the subject between schools and
colleges in the area.
A council spokesman said the aim of
the campaign was to give students ‘an objective and
correct view of the world of disability’ especially
as this information was put across by professionals.
The Social Welfare department was
also involved in taking students to museums as well as
giving free access to centres of national heritage to
disabled and elderly citizens.
Estepona social welfare head, David
Valadez, said these initiatives were ‘an attempt to
educate people on values and put an end to
barriers’. And he said the effort made was reflected
by the disability award received by Estepona Council only
last year.
