29/06/2023.- The Princess of Girona Foundation (FPdGi) joins the External Advisory Board of the initiative ‘PROmocionAnDo la salud y el bienestar EMOcional de los adolescentes en el sector educativo, sanitario y la sociedad’ (PROADEMO).
Luis Joaquín García, professor at the University of Jaén (UJA) and head of PROADEMO, met with the Director of Strategy and Innovation of the FPdGi, Esteban Redolfi, to assess the incorporation of this institution to the External Advisory Board of this project in defense of the promotion of emotional well-being in young people.
Luis Joaquín García explained the motivations of PROADEMO, which aims to develop a methodology that promotes the active participation of adolescents and social agents in the development of guidelines for national and European policies, as well as the drafting of strategic documents in a child-friendly language.
Likewise, Luis Joaquín García developed the specific objectives of this initiative, related to “the design of a complete digital training package, aimed at workers in the fields of education, youth and health, and adolescents themselves, in order to enhance their skills and knowledge to establish and provide quality mental health services to young people at risk of developing emotional problems as a result of the pandemic and post-pandemic”.
For his part, Esteban Redolfi explained the work of “helping young people that is carried out in the Princess of Girona Foundation through programs and free 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 PROADEMO and other projects such as DAREMOS, PROCARE, DIGITAS and 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.
Following the agreement reached, Esteban Redolfi confirmed the integration of the Princess of Girona Foundation as a new member of PROADEMO’s External Advisory Council. This institution joins other entities that are already part of PROADEMO such as the Spanish Youth Institute (INJUVE), attached to the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030, the Spanish Youth Council (CJE), the European Youth Information and Counselling Agency (ERYICA), the Asociación Española de Ayuda Mutua contra Fobia Social y Trastornos de Ansiedad (AMTAES), the Confederación de Organizaciones de Psicopedagogía y Orientación de España (COPOE), the Asociación Andaluza de Profesionales de Juventud (AAPJ), the Asociación Asturiana para la Atención y el cuidado de la infancia (Asaci Asturias) and the Comprehensive Health section of the FELGTBI+.
PROADEMO is a project (PDC2022-133401-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) led by UJA, and funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, the State Research Agency and the European Union, through the “Next Generation EU” funds included in the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
