On May 9th CERCI Braga is promoting the Magic Walk, an initiative that marks the start-up of the Magic Glow-worm Campaign’15, organised every year by FENACERCI in partnership with RDP - Antena 1.
Presentation of the campaign was attended by the Mayor of Braga, Ricardo Rio and the Chairman of the Braga Commercial Association, Macedo Barbosa, expressing the involvement of the community in fund-raising to pursue the aims of the cooperatives as well as to meet a greater objective which is that of raising awareness to accept difference.
The night-time walk starts at Avenida Central in Braga at 20h30 on a route stretching around five kilometres which ends at Parque da Ponte during which there will be various activities and lots of entertainment. Enrolment costs five Euros and includes a glow-worm, a pin, a t-shirt and a snack.
Sponsored by the dst group, the walk also boasts partnerships and supports from Braga Municipality, HMDesign, Uselabel, Plano Minho, McDonald’s Braga, Lar S. Salvador, Dulcesol, RUM, Revista SIM, Braga Eventos, Braga Dança, Equipa Espiral, Synergia and WAPA, amongst other institutions and companies, thereby enabling the staging of this major event.
In Braga the initiative is part of the fund-raising campaign to put into effect works on the Occupational Activities' Centre in the parish of Navarra which will allow the needs to be met of around three dozen young people and adults in the Braga region who suffer from intellectual disability and multidisability and who are at present without any support or back-up.
“O Nosso Pirilampo” (Our Glow-worm) challenges schools in Braga
Concurrently, at the schools of Braga the “Our Glow-worm” competition is ongoing, inviting schools to build an illuminated, coloured glow-worm, preferably using reused material and boasting large dimensions.
More than a dozen works are expected which will be carried out as part of a group or in classes (maximum of 30 people per group) and exhibited during the route of the Magic Walk. The glow-worms will be voted on at our Facebook page (http://facebook/CERCIBraga.pt) until May 31st. The three most voted for will be assessed by a jury which will select the main winner.
The group or classroom that has built the Glow-worm selected will win an Inclusive Experience with the support of KIB: an afternoon at Braga Karting Track, to take place in June.
The Magic Glow-worm
Remember that the Magic Glow-worm is today one of the major symbols of social welfare in Portugal. Its mission is to support people suffering from mental disability and multidisability, backed up by the work undertaken by the national network of CERCI’s. The familiarity and emotional ties established with Portuguese citizens more than two decades ago lend this icon status of great credibility and media impact which has made a major contribution, through fund-raising, to the success of the interventions that have been developed alongside the population.
