The story began in Skelleftea where we meet the different partner countries involved in the project ARTS (Alternative Routes to Success).It was very interesting to see how different education systems in partner countries directly affect what we are able to offer disadvantaged groups

One of the techniques carried out in Medlefors was focused on learning from the use of the senses. It became clear that the use of perception and senses in Medlefors is paramount and we were invited to a lesson to test this system by ourselves.

This use of creativity allows everyone to express themselves and is a good introductory exercise for disadvantaged people who are learning to express themselves in the group.

Once in our point of work were explained the knowledge acquired during our stay in Medlefors which were implemented with the users of CRD-Medelo (COGAMI), besides continuing with the activity of sensory stimulation already established in the center.

The aim of this activity is to stimulate the user and get it with that they feel more independent, aware through the senses, that their deeds can change what happens around and feeling like a participant in society, thereby achieving an increase in their psychological wellbeing and improving interpersonal relationships, being able to optimize the functional independence and quality of life of the user.

The story continues in Ferrara…
