Objective of the project:
People with intellectual difficulties form one of the most excluded groups as their access to education, vocational training and employment is extremely difficult. For these people to be successful in the labour market, they need continuing training and support which; however, are not provided by mainstream education and social services systems. The project addresses these needs particularly of young people with intellectual difficulties by offering them opportunities to pursue, in real-life working environments, vocational training and acquire skills for the preparation of, and attendance to, various events. People with intellectual difficulties will benefit from the project by improving both their skills and opportunities of finding salaried jobs in the area of catering services or in the social enterprise of Maria's World Foundation. Giving the young people in this group an opportunity to earn income of their own will help ensure they can have normal lives and become more socially involved.
Objective of the project: The objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the Worlds Day Care Centre team by consultations and supervision aimed at improving their skills for individual and group interaction with due regard to our clients' mental functioning and communication specificities.
The team will also receive support in working with the parents and wider families of the clients of the Day Care Centre by means of consultations dedicated to the specific issues of sexuality and independence.
Objective of the project:
Because of their very reticent way of living, people with intellectual difficulties are often unable to benefit from ordinary events and activities at which attendees learn more about foreign cultures and traditions.
The project will organize three thematic events at the Day Care Centre 'Worlds'. These events will introduce various aspects of La Culture Française to people with intellectual difficulties, their loved ones and citizens from the community.
The project will enable people with intellectual difficulties obtain insights of French culture in an accessible way, including by joining events organized by connoisseurs of French culture in the community, thus promoting their integration.
Objective of the project:
'Movies touch our hearts, and awaken our vision and change the way we see things. They open doors and minds', says Martin Scorsese ('Films Can Help Change the World', the Huffington Post, 2013).
Films and the issues they raise have an impact on society's bearings, drive mindsets and interpretations, and facilitate emotional compassion.
Objective of the project:
This project aims to facilitate the access of people with intellectual difficulties to employment opportunities by helping them develop, enhance and apply occupational skills, and by supporting their on-the-job adaptation in a real working environment.
Project goal:
The project is geared towards young people with mild to moderate mental retardation and provides an opportunity for training aimed at the development of work and social skills through participation in work practices in a real-life working environment.
