Moventia sponsors II Itinera Parlem Festival

Moventia is pleased to be a sponsor of the II Itinera Parlem Festival this year, a project created by the Catalan Association of Microtowns and Aktive. The project was launched in 2021 to raise the profile of Microtowns and their attractive features. This festival consisted of quality music in micro format.

Microtowns are municipalities with fewer than 500 inhabitants in Catalonia. There are a total of 337, of which more than 200 are members of the Catalan Association of Microtowns.

Itinera seeks two objectives: to raise the profile of the reality for Microtowns in Catalonia and to bring quality culture to iconic spaces in these towns. The festival includes musicians from the genres of Jazz, Blues, Gospel and Soul, among others, and also hosts important benchmark performers from the Catalan music scene, as well as collaborations with conservatoires and music schools in Catalonia, such as Liceu and Esmuc.

This open and inclusive project is taking place for the second time in 2022. It began on 1 May and will conclude on 30 October after more than 120 concerts.

Following its first edition in 2021, the Itinera Festival was given an Impulsa Award by the Catalunya Cultura Foundation. Its incredible work was recognised by this project for de-ruralisation through culture and, more specifically music, in turn demonstrating that culture fosters social transformation.

Moventia shares this vision and understands culture as a tool for conveying values that encourages critical thought and becomes an instrument for social cohesion and development in a more active society. That is why, Moventia promotes and supports actions and projects that seek to bring quality culture from this region to everyone.

Moventia holds the Seal of Recognition for Commitment to Culture from the Cataluña Cultura Foundation in recognition of its ties to and involvement in promoting Catalan culture.

 

Moventia supports “Magic Line” and “I Run Against Cancer” initiatives

March was full of very special solidarity initiatives, such as the now traditional Magic Line walk and the I Run Against Cancer event in Sabadell, two projects that Moventia did not want to miss. 

Magic Line is a solidarity event organised by the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital to help vulnerable people by promoting solidarity and commitment. 

Moventia began supporting this solidarity event several years ago. This year, a team of 20 employees from the company walked the 10 kilometres that make up the Islam Trail in Barcelona. 

The team completed the trail to support the initiative by Sant Joan de Déu and successfully raised a total of € 1,380 through donations, which will all go to help vulnerable people. 

 

Furthermore, we also took part in the “I Run Against Cancer” event in Sabadell. Regularly sponsored by Stern Motor, this is a day of sports and games that is open to all and in no way competitive. Employees from the company also came together to walk and run at the event.

Following a two-year hiatus, this event returned to life stronger than ever and with the same goal in mind: to raise awareness, and to raise the profile and break taboos around cancer.

 

Moventia continues to play its part and express solidarity with social and sports projects in order to maintain our commitment to building a better world together.

Moventia presents latest edition of We Love Learning

A new edition of We Love Learning was organised on 22 and 23 March, an event by Netex Learning on Training and Technology at which ideas, experience and knowledge from authorities on the topic were presented. The event focused on such issues as the future of work, the latest learning trends and challenges in the post-COVID world of remote working, the use of micro-learning and agile learning to improve the learning experience in general, and how marketing is essential for e-learning initiatives.

Our Head of Internal Development and Communication, Susanna Vidal, attended the event to share a success story about the virtualisation process that our Training Department is currently undertaking as we continue adapting to changes in our environment.

Susanna said that “changes in the environment have forced us to adapt. New technologies, the way we communicate and the arrival of new generations with new values have also forced us to change how training is provided at companies if we want it to have an impact and be attractive”

Moventia is proud to take part in these conferences organised by Netex Learning, which have brought us closer to the latest trends in the e-learning sector and at which we have learned about experiences at other organisations. 

 

Moventia joins the fight against childhood cancer

Today, 15 February, is International Childhood Cancer Day, a date that is particularly important for us at Moventia. This year, Moventis Autobuses Lleida decided to take action alongside the Association of Children with Cancer (@afanoc_lleida) and joined the Put Your Cap On initiative (@posatlagorra), an event aimed at children and teenagers with cancer that will take place at La Seu Vella in Lleida on 27 March.

 

This event is a symbol of solidarity against childhood cancer, a big party that also seeks to raise social awareness about the reality of this disease. Everyone taking part will be able to enjoy free transport on our buses to La Seu Vella in Lleida, where the event will take place.

 

Moventia fully supports all the child warriors who fight against this disease every day and we continue to cooperate and protect their well-being in every way we can.

Moventia at the Palace of Catalan Music

 

Since 2018, Moventia has been working with the Orfeó Català – Palace of Catalan Music Foundation. This foundation’s mission is to promote music with a particular focus on choral singing and knowledge and communication of cultural heritage. Under this partnership, Moventia sponsored a concert performance of Missa Scala Aretina by Francesc Valls with “La Grande Chapelle” on 21 December. The Montserrat cathedral choir was due to take part in this concert. However, a last-minute case of COVID in one of the children meant they were unable to attend.

Moventia joins the Eurofirms Foundation campaign

 

To help celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Eurofirms Foundation launched its #IgualdeDiferentes #Igualdeprofesionales [#EquallyDifferent #EquallyProfessional] campaign to highlight the talent and skills of persons with disabilities who are often obscured by the numerous stereotypes that exist today.

The campaign is based on five illustrations by the prestigious illustrator, Javier Royo, that reveal how persons with disabilities are sometimes treated in order to underline the importance of recognising them as professionals in their own right.

Moventia has joined this initiative under its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.

 

 

Moventia supports the 2021 La Marató

Moventia has firmly maintained its commitment to society and even made it stronger at a time when support for tackling some tough circumstances is so very much needed. Moventia wants to be actively involved in developing a better society, whether that be by promoting its own programmes or by collaborating with non-profit entities and foundations in various areas. Hence, Moventia is supporting the TV3 “La Marató” once again this year, this time with two Izaro and Calella coaches for use by the various artists who will perform during the show.

The charity programme on TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio will air on Sunday, 19 December and will be focused on mental health problems. These issues are very common and affect one in four people at some point in their life. They have a heavy impact on society and healthcare services, as well as on the quality of life for those affected and others around them.

You can support this campaign by making your donation by bank transfer, the Internet, CaixaBank ATMs or Bizum

Jordi Castells in the Capital&Corporate magazine

Jordi Castells, Operations Director at Moventis, appears in the article entitled “Urban Mobility” published in the Capital&Corporate magazine.

“(…) The urban mobility sector is almost unrecognisable from how it was a decade ago. A commitment to sustainability from society, investors and the public authorities has driven the rise of new urban transport solutions with strong growth potential. In light of such a model shift, large corporations and venture capital and private equity funds have decided to take up positions in strategic projects and at strategic firms with strong potential for future development.(…).
