(ANS - Madrid) - The State Coordination of Salesian Social Platforms was created in 2000 to coordinate the ten social entities of Salesians and Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA) of Spain that promote the social inclusion of vulnerable children, young people and families through integral education. Twenty years later, it can still be said that the Coordination has preserved the spirit in which it was originally conceived and that, through the projects of the various Platforms and in their various fields of action, it continues to give effective responses for integration, socio-work integration and the integral development of its beneficiaries.
