In the midst of games and teachings, the \"Bar\u00fa est\u00e1 en la judada\" (Bar\u00fa is on the move) program has been running for seven months where, soccer practices, softball and psychopedagogical activities, have been used to counteract the negative effects caused by pandemic in terms of sedentary lifestyle, mental health, problems of coexistence and academic setback. \u201cBar\u00fa est\u00e1 en la jugada\u201d<\/strong> donde a trav\u00e9s de entrenamientos de f\u00fatbol, s\u00f3ftbol y actividades psicopedag\u00f3gicas se contrarrestan los efectos negativos que ha dejado la pandemia en t\u00e9rminos de sedentarismo, salud mental, problem\u00e1ticas de convivencia y retroceso acad\u00e9mico.<\/p>\n Santiago Rodr\u00edguez, an 11-year-old boy from the community of Ararca, has participated in the sports activities and assures that his behavior has improved, especially when he is with his friends, \u201cparticipating in the program has taught me to respect others, calling them by name and listening to their ideas in a respectful manner,\u201d he explained. \u201cparticipar en el programa me ha ense\u00f1ado a respetar a los dem\u00e1s, llam\u00e1ndolos por su nombre y escuchando sus ideas de manera respetuosa\u201d, <\/em>explic\u00f3.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Overcoming the challenges of the pandemic <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAs it is public knowledge, the pandemic has highlighted social and educational problems that we have had as a country. One of the most marked difficulties in the children of the Island is related to the weakness in their reading, writing and mathematics skills, which is why the activities of the pedagogical component are of great value since they have strengthened said skills in the participants. \u201d, assures Gladys Sanmiguel, executive director of the Colombianitos Foundation.<\/p>\n Sharick Maldonado, a 9-year-old girl who lives in Santa Ana, assures that because of the teachers at 'Bar\u00fa est\u00e1 en la jugada' she learned to write her name, to count up to 100 and to tell time on digital en hand clocks.<\/p>\n For the project, including parents is important, which is why in the psychosocial component there have been workshops and recreational activities such as 'Rumba therapies', providing tools to improve coexistence and communication in their homes as well as strategies to reduce stress and tensions within the family. Furthermore the program teaches parents how to effectively communicate to their children, the risks that come with underage alcohol consumption and promote preventive strategies for it and other psychoactive substances.<\/p>\n Susana de la Rosa, a mother of the Bar\u00fa community, is grateful for the project because she has seen many positive changes in her daughter Ana Sof\u00eda's behavior and in her own role as a mother, \"thanks to the workshops I have learned to manage stress , to guide my daughter in a more positive way and to have spaces for a more constant communication\u201d, she pointed out. \u201cgracias a los talleres he aprendido a manejar el estr\u00e9s, a orientar a mi hija de una forma m\u00e1s positiva y tener espacios de comunicaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s constante\u201d, se\u00f1al\u00f3.<\/em><\/p>\n Being a health project, 'Bar\u00fa est\u00e1 en la jugada', has carried out screening and weight evaluation sessions to verify the nutritional status of the boys and girls who entered the project. These days are complemented by different activities such as talks and workshops with parents and minors, in which a balanced diet and healthy habits are promoted.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a project that came to invigorate the daily practices of the participants and promote their sustainable development. It has been the stage for children and young people to develop life skills and healthy living habits, experiencing valuable learning in terms of conflict resolution, teamwork and assertive communication,\u201d said Mar\u00eda Stephanie Gonz\u00e1lez, social development manager of the Santo Domingo Foundation.<\/em> afirm\u00f3 Mar\u00eda Stephanie Gonz\u00e1lez, gerente de desarrollo social de la Fundaci\u00f3n Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n Another of the objectives of 'Bar\u00fa est\u00e0 en la jugada' is to strengthen the island's sports organizations . Through training, sports leaders acquire new knowledge and teachings with the help of expert organizations such as 'Nuevos Rumbos' (New Routes) and with the methodology of the Colombianitos Foundation 'Juguemos por la paz' (Let's play for peace), which integrates sports practices with life skills, the building of citizenship and the early prevention of alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n Five sports organizations in the region: Club Deportivo Isla Bar\u00fa Ararca, Corpoclub Social y Deportivo Santa Ana Isla de Bar\u00fa, Fundeiba (Isla Bar\u00fa Sports Foundation), Real Star Sports Corporation, Asoclub Recrear Bar\u00fa and the Community Councils of Santa Ana, Ararca and Bar\u00fa support the development of the project.<\/p>\n This way, 'Bar\u00fa est\u00e1 en la jugada' continues to create more opportunities for the island's communities, training the new generations through sport.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" En el proyecto participan 525 ni\u00f1os, ni\u00f1as y adolescentes de las comunidades de Ararca, Santa Ana y Bar\u00fa.
