The San Sebastian Festival will collaborate with the SOS Racismo Gipuzkoa social mentoring programmes by contributing with 50 tickets for films. These accompaniment programmes provide socioeconomically vulnerable groups with a person of reference, someone they can connect with and who helps them on the road towards their social inclusion.
Attending screenings at the Festival’s 70th edition, running from September 16-24, falls within the same context. “Distributing these tickets to the people who participate in these accompaniment programmes is a way of normalising and strengthening their inclusion process while ensuring that the San Sebastian Festival is not something that feels inaccessible, but that, quite the opposite, can include all persons in our society, among whom are people from other cultures”, explained Karlos Ordoñez, coordinator of social mentoring programmes at SOS Racismo Gipuzkoa.
Social mentoring is an intervention tool for people in situations of fragility. Each one is assigned a mentor to accompany them for 3 hours a week over a period of at least six months. This enables them to work on aspects related to their inclusion process, such as self-esteem, socialisation and psychosocial well-being. SOS Racismo Gipuzkoa has three social mentoring programmes: Urretxindorra, which pairs university students or those who are completing their further education studies with pre-adolescent boys and girls from immigrant origins (this programme has precisely opened its doors during the current weeks, inviting new university volunteers to collaborate in its ninth edition); Izan Harrera, developed with ZEHAR Errefuxiatuekin, where refugees and asylum seekers are accompanied by volunteers from SOS Racismo; and the Itsasargia programme, for local and immigrant women in Pasaia. Processes to accompany young boys who live on the street are also organised together with the Citizens’ Refugees Welcome Network.
