📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
he purpose of our project is to integrate young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the community by developing their social skills and their autonomy while focusing on informing and sensitizing the community about the obstacles and discrimination these people but also their families face.This project was born due to the need of children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder who participate much less often in social activities compared to the typical ones.
Activities will be organized such as:
occupational workshop activities to develop a set of skills for youngsters with ASD
- weekly cooking workshop (mostly pastry products)
- weekly art&handmade workshop
- seasonal greening workshop
information campaigns and fundraising activities
thematic events (International Autism Awareness Day, International Day of Persons with Disabilities, etc.)
socializing activities in the community, in order to develop and maintain the appropriate social behavior
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will be accommodated in apartments with shared bathroom and kitchen (the housing costs will be supported by the association). The rooms will be equipped with internet and extra facilities. Each room will be for 2 volunteers, divided by gender.
Local transportation: a monthly local travel bus pass will be provided for each volunteer for project activities
International transportation will be reimburced based on the distance band calculator of EU (https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/resources/distance-calculator_en)
🎒 Leisure activities
The project revolves around Autism Spectrum Disorder, but no prior experience or knowledge is necessary as the coordinating team will offer the necessary information and tools in working or assisting the youth diagnosed with ASD. The volunteering activities will take place in a private school for people with special needs and will be together with the therapists team at all time which will guide the volunteers.
