The project’s specific objectives were: 1. To offer innovative educational experiences to adults with cognitive disabilities, in order to improve their social and relational skills. 2. To improve skills and competences of educators working with adults with cognitive disability, training them in the use of new educational methodologies 3. To develop the skill of two small size organisations to work at international level, exchanging good practices and competences, according to their specific needs and working areas.
The project was designed to respond to the needs identified by two small associations dealing with intellectual disabilities and autism, based in two provincial contexts of two different European countries (Italy and Greece). In particular, a need was identified in beneficiaries with intellectual disabilities to strengthen some transversal and socialization skills, and in educators to acquire new methodological tools to use for this purpose. Finally, partner organizations expressed the need to develop outside their local context, build new partnerships, exchange skills and improve the quality of their ordinary activities.
