Project Summary

The name of the project: Strength of support.

The main aim of the project – an exchange and collecting good practices related to the improvement of functioning people with disabilities in society by developing effective methods of communication and art therapy.

Detailed aims of the project:
• popularizing methods of alternative communication and art therapy in working with disabled people
•a transference of good practices in the field of communication and functioning of disabled people and art therapy from abroad to organizations and their receivers from other countries
• conducting the training for the environment of disabled people/carers, specialists, instructors, volunteers who work with disabled people;
• a methodological development of materials concerning the work methods with disabledpeople and popularizingthem.
• a practical use of tools in the field of alternative communication.

The target group is the staff working on a dailybasis with disabledpeople – pedagogues, therapists, and volunteers.

During activities implemented in CSE and partner organizations, participants were also people with disabilities who benefited from their support on a daily basis.
The project was implemented in a consortium with partner organizations from various countries, which contributed to the exchange of good practices internationally. Each partner brought knowledge and skills to the project, which he shared with the other partners. Each of the partner organizations works with adults with disabilities, but operates in a different reality and uses different methods of work. This diversity was an asset of this project.

Partner organizations deal with people struggling with a number of problems that cause their social, professional and family problems, etc. Adults predominate with intellectual, physical and coupled disabilities. The problems of this group in individual countries are noticed, resolved to varying degrees. Instead, they require a look at the solutions used from different sides and levels of social security implementation, including the educational process. Partners know the environment, capabilities and system solutions well in their own countries. The partnership in the project made it possible to broaden horizons, exchange experiences and mutual inspirations.
