Within Sabadell and Argub’s twinning, the refugee camps located at Tindouf (Argelia) welcomed a new visit of the medical and surgical commission as well as the second edition of the solidarity camps formed by young people from Sabadell. Sabadell’s group composed of 25 people was at the camps from the 26th of October until the 8th of November.
The initiative, coordinated by Sabadell’s city hall, has the management of Taller d’Art, Cultura i Creació (TACC) and the implication of Corporació Sanitària Parc Taulí (CSPT). The medical commission and the solidarity camps belong to the twinning between Sabadell and Argub (Western Sahara). Furthermore, with the objective of promoting awareness, audiovisual professionals visited the camps together with the medical and surgical commission and the solidarity camps, in order to create some productions with the students of this professional sector and therefore, to contribute to the awareness of the citizenship. This project was born in 1989 but it was reformulated in February 2017 with the objective of continuing the work carried out until then, but with a new boost to the Direct Cooperation and involving the inhabitants of both, Sabadell and RASD (Saharan Arab Democratic Republic). Nowadays, the project has different perspectives, being more implicated in sanitary cooperation, youth, gender perspective and training of Saharan professionals in order to encourage the autonomy and the community empowerment. During the presentation of the trip at a press conference taken place in October, Joan Berlanga, Deputy Mayor of Citizenship and Economic Promotion, said that “these projects confirm that Sabadell is a solidarity-based city, and we are going ahead with the work that was born with 1989’s twinning, as a city fully implicated with Sahara. We talk about a solidarity and cooperation work that is shared and which would not be possible without the implication of social agents and the rest of the citizenship”.
