Program/ Learning organization

The participants will have the chance to share their experience and knowledge of the theme of school integration of people with special needs and to develop a new point of view at a European level.

The central point of this seminar is the Italian model for school integration of children with special needs through significant examples in the cities of Florence and Prato and a direct discussion with the people and decision-makers involved.

In a special workshop unit we put methodical applications into practise: How can people get in touch in an unusual way and how can they use and enlarge their sensory awareness: non verbal works, dance – danzability, role of body and physical power in every-day life at school.
