Our reason for being: who we are
We support migrants and refugees to achieve full social inclusion in our society through intercultural mediation, psychosocial care, legal and labor orientation, training and the generation of employment projects based on the social economy, thus contributing to build a more culturally diverse and socially cohesive society.
SenValos wants to be a social entity that complements the current measures of inclusion that exist in Galicia with the group of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers who are in any situation of social vulnerability, providing pragmatism and effectiveness.
To be a reference entity in the development of intercultural mediation as a tool at the service of the community, which allows the full social inclusion of the migrant collective as a fundamental right of the same, and that favors the creation of a network of specialized intercultural mediators with various nationalities of origin.
A social entity that is also concerned with analyzing and acting on the causes of migration, developing trans-migration projects in the countries of origin, generating good practices and a positive social impact.
A social entity recognized in the Public, Private and Third Sector, promoting effective and decentralized networking in various locations, as well as an entity connected with civil society to have a strong social support base.
A social entity that generates synergies, flexible, innovative, creative, plural, open, transparent and with a strong social commitment to its beneficiaries.
- Commitment: We work to help, support and accompany people in vulnerable situations.
- Participation: We understand our projects as participatory processes of reality improvement; we intervene together with the beneficiaries and our partners and local institutions in the processes of change.
- Interculturality: We promote that migrations facilitate a cohesive and diverse society based on the mutual recognition and coexistence of the different cultures that form it.
- Social innovation: We create innovative mechanisms and tools with a strong positive social impact that allow us to respond to the needs of the migrant population.
- Equality: Understood as equal opportunities, equality between men and women and as one of the main tools to achieve social justice.
