Descrizione:
We are a nonprofit organization whose goals are directed to the welfare of the community. Our main aim is to raise the quality of life for marginalized groups of people and the prevention of social exclusion. We promote a healthy lifestyle, solidarity, volunteering, and social inclusion. The specific group of young people we work with are people in NEET situation (Not in Employment, not in Education, not in Training), the youth who live with development and/or psychosocial disability like schizophrenia, epilepsy, behavior disorders like spectrum of autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other behavioral disorders. We conduct mentor program called „Friends“ in which each member in group get a mentor who provides direct support for his new friend and his family. Mentor - friend creates a long-lasting relationship, by doing social inclusion like going to the movies, theater, sports, workshops, and similar activities. Also, our organization has well organized weekly activities in the purpose of occupational therapy. These activities are workshops of arts and crafts, gardening, cooking, swimming, Nordic walking, therapeutic - swimming and inclusive volunteering. We gather experts from different areas (health, social care, youth work): social pedagogues, rehabilitators, teachers, doctors, sociologist, artist, ecologist, psychologist and lots of enthusiastic people with love for others. All together we (re)search for ways of doing positive change in our community.
