Un Mundo Mejor on La 2: A Television Window to Social Change
La 2 of TVE launched the program “Un Mundo Mejor” as a space dedicated to showcasing initiatives that are transforming society. Through interviews, reports and live testimonies, the show highlights individuals, organizations and companies that work every day for diversity, solidarity and social inclusion.
Each recording brings together people involved in associations, foundations and social enterprises, offering them a powerful platform to share the activity they carry out and the impact they generate. The result is a television format that not only informs, but also inspires viewers to participate in projects that build a more inclusive and supportive world.
Bertín Osborne and the Power of Visibility
Among the well-known faces linked to solidarity and inclusion in Spain, Bertín Osborne occupies a prominent place. His commitment to causes related to disability and social integration has contributed to giving greater visibility to families and individuals who often remain underrepresented in mainstream media.
In a program like “Un Mundo Mejor”, the presence of public figures aligned with these values helps to multiply the reach of each initiative. When celebrities use their voice to talk about inclusion, accessibility and respect for diversity, they help normalize difference and encourage society to get involved.
CEE and the Role of Special Employment Centres
Within the ecosystem of organizations that could appear on “Un Mundo Mejor”, Special Employment Centres (CEE) occupy a key position. These centres are companies designed to guarantee stable jobs for people with disabilities, adapting tasks and environments so that everyone can develop their professional skills.
CEEs are a practical demonstration that economic activity and social impact can go hand in hand. Their projects often include industrial services, customer care, digital services or logistics, all managed with an inclusive approach. Giving them visibility on public television helps break down stereotypes about the abilities of people with disabilities and shows that talent is not limited by functional diversity.
Diversity as a Cornerstone of a Better World
One of the central messages of “Un Mundo Mejor” is that diversity is not an exception to be tolerated, but a value to be celebrated and integrated. Functional, cultural, generational and gender diversity enrich organizations and society as a whole.
By inviting associations and foundations that work with different groups, the program reflects the many faces of diversity: people with physical or intellectual disabilities, migrants, older people, young people at risk of exclusion and many others. Each story becomes proof that inclusion is not a theoretical concept, but a daily practice.
Solidarity: From Individual Action to Collective Transformation
Solidarity is the thread connecting the stories told on “Un Mundo Mejor”. Volunteers who dedicate their time to training, mentoring or emotional support; families who organize themselves to create associations; professionals who adapt their careers to contribute to social causes; companies that redesign their strategies to be more inclusive. All of them show that social change is the sum of countless individual decisions.
Television, in this context, acts as an amplifier. When viewers see concrete examples of solidarity, they discover that there are many ways to contribute: collaborating with a CEE, becoming members of a foundation, supporting campaigns linked to Telefónica Ability Awards, or simply spreading the word about these initiatives within their own circles.
Telefónica Ability Awards: Recognizing Inclusive Business Leadership
Within the corporate world, the Telefónica Ability Awards have become a benchmark for recognizing companies that integrate disability and diversity into their business models in a strategic and innovative way. These awards distinguish organizations that go beyond compliance and truly embed inclusion into their culture, products and services.
When programs like “Un Mundo Mejor” highlight projects connected with these awards, they show viewers that inclusion is not limited to the social or non-profit sector. Large and small companies can also be agents of change, proving that accessible work environments, inclusive customer service and technology designed for everyone are compatible with competitiveness and profitability.
Public Television (TVE) as a Driver of Social Awareness
TVE, as Spain’s public broadcaster, has a unique responsibility: to inform, educate and reflect social diversity. “Un Mundo Mejor” fits perfectly within this mission by dedicating prime airtime to causes that are essential for a democratic and inclusive society.
By opening its studio to organizations that collaborate, belong to or manage associations and foundations, TVE turns its cameras into a showcase where civil society can explain, in first person, the work it does. This direct contact helps dismantle prejudices, humanizes statistics and gives concrete faces and stories to concepts such as accessibility, inclusion and equal opportunity.
From the Set to the Streets: Inspiring Participation
The true success of “Un Mundo Mejor” lies in its ability to move viewers from passive observation to active participation. Each episode invites the audience to discover nearby projects, volunteer, donate resources or simply pay more attention to the reality of those who live with fewer opportunities.
Associations and foundations that appear on the show can share their mission, describe their programs and explain the changes they are achieving. This visibility often translates into new alliances, more volunteers and greater recognition, which in turn allows them to expand and professionalize their work.
Hotels, Inclusive Tourism and a Better World
The values promoted by “Un Mundo Mejor” also extend to sectors such as tourism and hospitality. More and more hotels in Spain are incorporating principles of accessibility and diversity into their design and services: barrier-free entrances, adapted rooms for people with reduced mobility, staff trained in inclusive customer care and communication materials in accessible formats. When a family travels with a member who has a disability and finds a hotel that respects their needs, they experience firsthand what it means to live in a more inclusive society. These establishments become practical examples of the same philosophy that the program promotes: a world where everyone can participate, rest, enjoy culture and discover new destinations without barriers.
A Path Towards a More Inclusive Future
“Un Mundo Mejor” is more than a television program; it is a meeting point for diversity, solidarity and innovation. By highlighting the work of CEEs, social organizations, inclusive companies and well-known advocates of social causes, it contributes to a cultural shift in how society understands disability and difference.
As more projects connected to initiatives like the Telefónica Ability Awards appear on screens, and as TVE continues to support formats with a clear social focus, the idea of a truly inclusive society stops being a distant aspiration and begins to look like a tangible, shared goal. Each story told on the set helps build, step by step, the foundations of that better world.
