Social work: a profession for our time

The Official College of Social Work of León celebrated the World Social Work Day in March under the motto “Respecting Diversity through Joint Action.” This date commemorates the commitment, contribution, and work of these professionals as firsthand observers of social reality, leaders of change, and agents of social intervention to transform society into a more inclusive space.

This year’s slogan acknowledges that change happens locally through various communities and calls for the involvement of all social work networks to collectively contribute to the values and principles that recognize and respect the dignity of all individuals.

As a social enterprise, SOLTRA employs numerous professio- nals from this sector who form a dedicated team focused on providing socio-labor support to workers. On Wednesday the 22nd, our colleague Arturo Pestaña participated in a colloquium alongside Sandra García from the Federation of Associations of Deaf People of Castilla y León and Inés Martínez from ONCE, held in conjunction with the screening of the movie CODA as part of the Social Cinema cycle organized by the college for their commemoration. It was an enjoyable conversation about the profiles they collaborate with on a daily basis and the identified needs to achieve change in companies for genuine inclusion of people with disabilities.
