<\/a><\/p>\nThe Director of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, Juan Carlos Moreno Pi\u00f1ero inaugurated the course \u201cUniversal Accessibility, Social Inclusion and Lever of Change Towards Equality\u201d which takes place online from today until next Friday within the Foundation\u2019s Campus Yuste training programme which is in turn part of the XXII International Summer-Autumn Courses of the University of Extremadura.<\/strong>\u00a0(18\/10\/2021)<\/p>\n During his speech, the Director of the Foundation pointed out that this training is necessary because the Foundation is intended to contribute to the promotion of democracy, respect for human rights and the promotion of peace and international harmony “which are reached by social integration, among other ways”.<\/p>\n The Director also highlighted the interest aroused by the contents of this course which has had a positive response as 208 participants from fourteen countries have enrolled: Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Portugal, Dominican Republic, Spain and Venezuela.<\/p>\n For his part, the Vice-rector of University Extension of the University of Extremadura, Juan Carlos Iglesias Zoido, highlighted the importance of inter-institutional collaboration between the General Directorate of Universal Accessibility, the General Directorate of University Policy, the University of Extremadura and Yuste Foundation for the concretion of the course contents.<\/p>\n Finally, the second Vice President and Regional Minister of Health and Social Services of the Regional Government of Extremadura, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Vergeles Blanca, pointed out during his speech that one of the lessons we have learned in recent months of pandemic has been “the importance of moving towards a more social Europe aimed at moving disability policies towards a model based on human rights”. In his opinion, it is absolutely necessary that “people have equal rights to access the opportunities that arise”, and therefore, he said, the Regional Government of Extremadura has created the general directorate of Universal Accessibility, so that “all the policies that are designed from the regional institution, in all the rights that we shape for the citizenry, we are able to look for the mechanism so that they can be accessible to all people,” he said. “We want to work in a transversal way with the objective that accessibility may be found in all policies designed by the Regional Government”, he explained.<\/p>\n Finally, Vergeles claimed that “the approach to social inclusion cannot be understood if there is no true universal accessibility for people to access certain rights”. The speakers include the Head of the Disability Rights Unit of the European Commission, Inmaculada Placencia Porrero; the Director-General of Accessibility and Centres, Mar\u00eda \u00c1ngeles L\u00f3pez Amado; the Director of the Royal Disability Board and Director of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Jes\u00fas Mart\u00edn Blanco, and the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations on Disability and Accessibility, Soledad Cisternas Reyes, among others.<\/p>\n The course \u201cUniversal Accessibility, Social Inclusion and Lever of Change Towards Equality\u201d counts with the collaboration of Entrepreneurial Culture of the University; the Provincial Council of C\u00e1ceres; the Technical Office of Accessibility of Extremadura; OACEX; FEDEPAS and FEXAS.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”on” prev_text=”VER NOTICIA ANTERIOR” next_text=”VER NOTICIA SIGUIENTE” admin_label=”\u2190 NAVEGACION POR NOTICIAS \u2192” _builder_version=”3.0.85″ custom_margin=”||3%|”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, together with the \u201cJes\u00fas Us\u00f3n Minimum Invasion Surgery Centre”, and the University of Extremadura, have organised the course \u201cThe Future of Healthcare in Europe and in the World: Challenges and Solutions to a Global Challenge\u201d, to be held from 27 September to 1 October at the Royal Monastery of Yuste as part of the Foundation\u2019s Campus Yuste training programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227191,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[190,191],"tags":[285],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227188"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227188"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":227222,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227188\/revisions\/227222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionyuste.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
