About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

ADAPA Foundation works with adults with Autism and other developmental disorders, including intellectual disabilities. ADAPA works in area of education, rehabilitation, social care and therapy. Mainly our Foundation is focused on the Occupational Therapy Workshops (OTW) that are designed to teach our participants how to improve their skills in everyday life by using practical methods. In ADAPA we have 5 thematic laboratories that our mentees attend to: craft, art, technology, topography and cooking. During them they learn e.g.: how to make jewellery, create decorations, use computer programs or how to value money or do shopping. Classes at the OTW are held from Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 15:00 and are attended by 35 adults with intellectual disabilities. For more information please read our website.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
