Agreement following the meeting between its Director of Strategy and Innovation, Esteban Redolfi, and the Professor of Psychology at the University of Jaén (UJA), Luis Joaquín García.
29/06/2023.- The Princess of Girona Foundation (FPdGi) has joined the External Advisory Board of the Network of Excellence for the PROmotion of adolescent health and EMOtional well-being (PROEMO), led by the University of Jaén (UJA).
Luis Joaquín García, professor at the University of Jaén (UJA) and head of the PROEMO Network, met with the Director of Strategy and Innovation of the FPdGi, Esteban Redolfi, to evaluate the incorporation of this institution into the External Advisory Board of this research network.
PROEMO is a consortium that seeks to bring together several Spanish researchers to promote the health and emotional well-being of adolescents. To this end, its main objective is the creation of a report and roadmap for 2025, aimed at detecting current gaps and providing recommendations for the promotion of adolescent health and emotional well-being, based on the strategic document produced by the PROEM Network in 2018.
In that sense, from the point of view of Luis Joaquín García, “the updating of this document will provide information on anxiety and depression problems in young people and the short and long term needs of adolescents with (or at risk of suffering) emotional problems both to them and to their families, mental health organizations, legislators and other interest groups such as the educational or health sectors”.
For his part, Esteban Redolfi explained the work of “helping young people that is carried out at the Princess of Girona Foundation through the free programs and activities offered to improve the employability of young people, and in turn, work with the new generation of teachers to revolutionize education”. In turn, in line with the motto of the FPdGi, “Always for Young People”, he showed his interest in the work done by the PROEM Network and UJA researchers in promoting the health and emotional well-being of adolescents through this partnership and other projects such as DAREMOS, PROCARE, PROADEMO, DIGITAS or PRECOM.
The Princess of Girona Foundation was born a decade ago with the determination to be a help in all critical aspects of youth development and to become a support to overcome the barriers that young people encounter in their incorporation into society. Since that date, the FPdGi has been characterized by contributing to the education and training of young people in their search for the job for which they have prepared themselves, and rewarding the most outstanding to form a community of talent that dialogues with other generations.
