The Government Delegation in Navarre has joined the campaign “How I want to be treated. I decide” that TASUBINSA has launched with the aim of raising awareness about intellectual disability in society. To this end, users of the Orkoien Occupational Center have explained the information material at the headquarters of the institution in the course of a meeting held with the delegate, Alicia Echeverría, and with workers of the Delegation.
The campaign includes table calendars and posters with twelve images, as a comic book, that reflect everyday situations in which people with intellectual disabilities claim better treatment. Thus, they ask that they be treated without infantilizing or overprotecting, using simple and easy-to-understand language, more accessible, validating their opinions, and with respect for diversity. These scenes include real experiences reported by people who use TASUBINSA.
Both the reflections and the images have been prepared by the people themselves with intellectual disability or the development of the Orkoien Occupational Center, after a process of reflection emerged in the activity of ‘life in the community’ in 2020.
This material is being distributed to institutions, companies, civic and cultural centers, health centers or sports centers in localities throughout Navarre. And today it has been presented in the Government Delegation.
