During the second quarter of the year, our educational community has experienced a very special time marked by the closing of the school year, the achievement of new goals, and the beginning of a meaningful transformation for our older students. With joy and pride, we celebrated the graduation of our seventh-grade students, who have completed their basic education at Nova.
This moment has been more than a farewell it has been a new beginning. Our students are now embarking on a new journey as part of INCLUNOVA, a youth project specially designed for them. INCLUNOVA was created in response to an urgent need: to provide continued educational and personal development opportunities for adolescents with disabilities, who are often left out of the school system without the tools they need for adult life.
Since April, we have begun implementing the program with pilot activities and preparation sessions aimed at strengthening their autonomy, self-esteem, and practical life skills. Through this project, we aim to help young people develop independence and everyday life skills, gain training in entrepreneurship and job readiness, learn to advocate for their rights and make informed decisions, and dream of a productive future free from limitations imposed by their condition.
We know that outside of our space, inclusive pre-employment training opportunities are extremely limited or financially out of reach. That’s why INCLUNOVA represents a real and accessible opportunity for these adolescents to build a dignified and sustainable life project.
This quarter has also been a time of institutional strengthening, closer engagement with families, and personalized support for each student, ensuring that no one is left behind.
We are deeply grateful to all those who have accompanied us on this new path. Your commitment to inclusion has been key in ensuring that these young people are not left out, but instead become agents of change in their homes and communities.
Thank you for continuing to believe in inclusion with love, and for being part of a transformation that never stops.
With gratitude,
Priscila Morales
