The Pastoral and Social Innovation Plan of Brotherhoods of Labor-Central Madrid (2021-2025) was approved by the Diocesan Council on September 26, 2021. It is an instrument at the service of communion in the missionary task of the Church and the HHT that helps us discover what we want to achieve and establish the actions, resources and means necessary to achieve it. Its general objective is to renew and update the Brotherhoods of Labor so that they continue to be a valid and effective instrument for the comprehensive promotion and evangelization of the world of work in the XXI century. Vision and Mission of HHT has two essential components that must go together: the apostolic dimension (forming Christian workers) and the social (train and fully develop workers). 2022 Objectives: (i) Review and revitalize the HHT Christian community by updating the identity and mission of the militant, of the Apostolic Group and the Brotherhood. (ii) Create a Pastoral and Social Innovation Commission under the responsibility of a pastoral vice president who directs and makescomply with the Pastoral Plan and Social Innovation. (iii) Launch a pastoral programfor the Brotherhood. Initiate a pastoral program for both activities and HHT works and services. Includes the Spanish School for Foreigners,the pastoral program for Social Innovation of the Elderly, the Volunteer program and Artistic Activities program and Sports.
Migrant workers and working families, focuses on creating actions to promote the dignity of people and in the promotion and comprehensive development of workers. Integral training: Hispanic language and culture, legal advice and social integration, through Spanish courses for immigrants that are taught free of charge at our center. Activities: HHTM provides migrants and refugees with resources for their integration in the family, social, moral, cultural, training and work, promoting equality from diversity, pluralism and intercultural respect with specific programs according to members´needs and rights. The CSB Spanish School has a comprehensive training program for this group of migrants, where the teaching of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture is combined with legal advice free in matters of immigration and asylum. HHTM is becoming a pioneering entity in the social inclusion of people in vulnerable situations through continuous training. The intervention procedure with migrants and local workers and families is carried out through individualized insertion itineraries whose main lines are the following:
• Language learning, guidance, advice and information for employment.
• Business prospecting and labor intermediation.
• Training for access and promotion in employment.
• Complaint and awareness-raising actions against employment discrimination.
• Research and preparation of studies on the work reality of refugees and immigrants in vulnerable situations.
We are keen to exchange good practices and experiences about innovative ways to work the social inclusion of people in vulnerable situations through continuous training, legal advice and employment opportunities. To offer the voices of migrants and local workers and families who through individualized insertion itineraries have been empowered and have achieved the following :
• Learn the Spanish language and culture getting an official certification given by Instituto Cervantes, making sure they will be ready to apply to their rights and duties as new members of the Spanish society., offering at the same time the richness and cultures of their home countries.
• Supporting migrants and local workers with their social entrepreneurship idea to cover their needs and to comply with their new duties as citizens.
• Tailored training programmes for accessing and promoting decent jobs.
• Awareness raising and what to do and report against any kind of discrimination.
• Being part of action-research and preparation of studies related to all factors that might affect the economic and labour engagement of refugees and immigrants, especially those in vulnerable situations.
We have seen the commitment of organizations who are part of the network within the field of migration and labour in which we operate too, that is, our unconditional work towards offering migrant and local citizens all types of services, whether legal, psychological, or linguistic. We believe that our inclusion in the network offers us a much more direct approach to the organizations that correspond to the countries of the people we mostly serve, Northern Africa, especially Morocco. We would like to work closely with organizations based on both shores towards a mutual and more than necessary intercultural dialogue as the situation evolves in the middle east. We are convinced our intercultural approach will be enhanced and enriched working closely with members from different fields, the academic and research, the practitioners and directly with people who benefit from our work. We are commited towards lifelong learning and the sustainable development goals and experiencing others journeys it will be a big asset to improve our current programmes described above.
