The University of Murcia inaugurated on Tuesday the second edition of the course 'We are all Campus' in an event that has taken place at the University Social Center.

Thanks to the co-financing of the European Social Fund and the Youth Employment Initiative, through the call for grants from Fundación ONCE, this project allows young people with intellectual disabilities to train at the University and prepare to get a job.

The training program will take place between October 2019 and June 2020. During those months, 17 young people with intellectual disabilities between the ages of 18 and 30 will join the university classrooms through the construction of comprehensive, accessible and personalized training itineraries. .

The content approach will be carried out in an applied and transversal way and includes a period of practices that will allow students to interact with collaborating companies.

'We are all Campus' means for these young people a training to improve their autonomy and socio-labor inclusion, as well as develop the motivation for learning and responsible performance of tasks.

For the UMU, it means establishing an inclusive training and standardization system in the university community environment.

The program is developed under the support of the Vice Chancellor for Students and Services to the University Community, the Vice Chancellor for Employment, Entrepreneurship and Society and the Vice Chancellor for Studies.

It also includes support from technical and administrative staff of the Employment Guidance and Information Center (COIE) and the Diversity and Volunteer Service (ADyV) of the University of Murcia.

In addition, it has the collaboration of social entities related to intellectual disability such as CERMI Region of Murcia, Plena Inclusion Federation, CEOM Association, Astrapace, Astrade, Prolam (Astus) Famdif and Fundown.
