Taking into account the emergency situation in which the city finds itself due to the rising of the Uruguay River and the subsequent opening of evacuation centers, the mayor Francisco Azcué has ordered, through the Secretariat of Human Development, the organization of a series of activities with the Undersecretariats of Culture, Sports, Social Development, Education, and the Youth Department.
“This proposal is comprehensive and aims to guarantee a different day and the presence of the municipal state from a perspective positioned in social sensitivity, placing our residents who are going through this difficult situation at the center of the scene” stated the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide.
Following the modality of the itinerant fairs applied as strategic linking tools within the framework of the “Relevar” Project, an adaptation of the activities has been carried out, oriented towards their application in the evacuation centers.
“This modality is more dynamic and is not only aimed at children but also seeks to support adolescents, adults, and the elderly” pointed out Arístide.
The fair format will be maintained regarding the game circuits for children, but the following will be incorporated: mini musical and artistic festivals; theatrical performances; workshops related to non-formal education, such as building games or toys for children with recycled material; and recreational games for adults, such as tejo and karaoke. In addition, dengue prevention talks will continue.
LOCATIONS
The locations where these activities will be carried out are:
Evacuation center Regimiento de Tanques 6 “Blandengues”.
Evacuation center “El Refugio” in the Carretera La Cruz neighborhood.
Evacuation center in Villa Adela.
Evacuation center “Promin”.
Evacuation center “ex Bagley”.
These will take place once a week in each center, plus two weekly festivals on different days.
For this purpose, the resources of the itinerant fairs will be allocated, and physical education teachers, Culture workshop leaders, Education personnel, as well as artists who voluntarily wish to join the proposal, will participate.
