The Transformative Power of Small Great Actions

In Tarragona, the Estela Foundation, part of the Xarxa Santa Tecla network, has been promoting social, healthcare, and employment initiatives for years to improve people's quality of life. Its Special Employment Centres provide training and real job opportunities for people with (dis)abilities, turning each task into a tool for personal growth.

Among other activities, the assembly and packaging of CitySens shelves take place at their facilities, which later arrive at your home or workplace. Each product carries a story of commitment, effort, and achievement.

Behind the daily activities of these centres are key figures: the supervisors. Their role goes far beyond organising tasks. They train, guide, and support with sensitivity and experience, creating spaces of trust where each person can progress at their own pace and using their own strengths.

As seen in the image, the supervisors have designed a visual guide based on a photograph, which they use as a reference to correctly package the components. They use a frame that allows them to align all parts accurately. This creative and educational solution greatly facilitates the task and improves process efficiency.

Thanks to this system, many people find a safe work environment where they feel valued and useful. Here, work becomes a tool for fostering autonomy, self-esteem, and personal confidence.

For us, this type of collaboration is fundamental. It is in our DNA and part of our mission: to achieve greater social inclusion by proving that it is possible to build an economy that leaves no one behind. When collaborating with such initiatives, value is created in two ways: useful products are made, and a fairer society is supported.

Some transformations don't require noise. Small actions done with intention, respect, and commitment are enough. Recognising each person’s value, creating opportunities, and building inclusive work relationships are firm steps towards a more humane model.
