Together with Governor Rogelio Frigerio and Mayor Francisco Azcué, she visited some participating centers where extracurricular activities are carried out. They also participated in the “Ver para Ser Libres” program.
On Tuesday afternoon, the National Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello, was in Concordia touring the national “Family Centers” program, a new social policy that promotes direct access to extracurricular activities for children between 6 and 17 years old, and trains their parents in parenting and family support.
Together with Governor Rogelio Frigerio and Mayor Francisco Azcué, she visited the Sarmiento Club, Secondary School 14, and the “Orange Jazz” Institute, where the participating centers operate.
In addition, they visited the mobile units of the “Ver para Ser Libres” program, which have already traveled to 18 locations, performed 1,961 ophthalmological check-ups, and delivered 1,259 pairs of glasses to students from 54 schools in the province.
THE FAMILY AS A CORE OF DEVELOPMENT
After highlighting that Concordia is the first city in the country where the National Government is implementing the “Family Centers,” Mayor Azcué stated that the primary objective “is to start working on the family as a core of human development, ending welfare dependency and moving to a scheme that promotes the culture of work, effort, and merit.”
In this regard, he valued the joint work with the Nation and the support of the Province, which allows for “implementing public policies that bring more work and investment to achieve the goal, which is to move away from temporary solutions and instead work in the territory and, based on diagnoses, generate actions that provide responses to demands.”
ABOUT THE “FAMILY CENTERS”
The program focuses its action on the entire family structure, with the aim of supporting them so they can raise their children in freedom and develop their life projects. 1,000 children between 6 and 17 years old were beneficiaries, who can access extracurricular activities through a voucher, which consists of a non-banking physical card that they can exchange at any of the 17 centers participating in this initiative, where soccer and rugby clubs, dance and artistic gymnastics schools, musical spaces, and private tutoring, among others, can be found.
Parents of families accessing the benefit must mandatorily attend the “Raising in Freedom” space, located at the Faro Center, where workshops and talks are held by local technical counselors trained by the National Secretariat for Children, Adolescents, and Family (SENNAF).
Participants included the National Secretary for Children, Adolescents, and Family, Juan Bautista Ordoñez; the Minister of Human Development, Verónica Berisso; the Secretary of Human Development of the Municipality of Concordia, Sebastián Arístide; national and provincial legislators, officials, among other authorities.
