About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

LaFACT FUPAR is a private and non-profit social organization established as a Foundation in 1985, which offers care to more than 500 people with disabilities. Each of the people served, in accordance with their abilities and autonomy, receive the most suitable support. The management and support staff consists of more than 80 professionals and volunteers. LaFACT FUPAR's Leisure Service organizes and promotes the participation of people with intellectual disabilities in socio-educational and sports activities, as a platform to improve personal autonomy and social inclusion. Although the city of Terrassa has a large offer (municipal and/or private) in the field of training, non-formal education and leisure, it is difficult to participate. Either because of the person's own idiosyncrasies or because only rarely are activities available for their interests and abilities, and even more so in the case of adults with intellectual disabilities.

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).
