14 Nov Books that matter: your dedication to the people of Valencia FP
We are on the eve of Christmas and from the Innovation Center for Vocational Training of Aragon (CIFPA) we have promoted the campaign Books that matter FP. We have focused on our colleagues of the Valencian VET, teachers and students. And the goal is that the Aragonese VET is turned to the Valencian VET bringing reading books so that, a few weeks after the DANA, they continue to feel supported.
The important thing is not only to bring a book, but also that the teachers and students of Aragonese VET carry out a reflection exercise beforehand to empathize with our colleagues in the Valencian Community who have suffered the effects of the last DANA. This reflection should help us to select a book (non-technical) that, for whatever reason, has influenced and helped us at a given moment and that we think can now serve as a mooring, disconnection and even provoke a smile to someone like us who is having a hard time at the moment.
The book has to be accompanied by a dedication written on the first pages, and be wrapped in a nice paper because, remember, it is a Christmas gift. All the books collected will travel from Aragón to Valencia and there it will be the National Reference Center of Wood and Cork, located in Paterna, which will be in charge of taking them to the Valencian centers with VET that have been particularly affected by the DANA.
In order to develop this campaign, firstly, we have all the schools in Aragon that have Vocational Training cycles. And secondly, with two entities:
- The Federación de Empresas de Transportes de Mercancías de Zaragoza (FETRAZ) will be in charge, through Transportes Callizo, of transporting all the collected specimens to Paterna.
- The Atrapavientos organization, with its Books that Matter program, is participating in this initiative with all its communication and image infrastructure.
We are aware that Libros que Importan FP does not mean a great contribution to the great emergency that has been and continues to be the DANA, but it can be a modest ray of light among so much darkness. It is an opportunity for the Aragonese VET to show its solidarity and support to our colleagues in Valencia.
This small initiative is not a solution for a catastrophe of the dimensions of the DANA, but it is Christmas and the small things, sometimes, are the BIGGEST.
