WAY2GO in Stockholm

Written by Nikolina Frangoullidou on 27/09/2023. Posted in Project News. 1 Comment on WAY2GO in Stockholm

Τhe progress and the near future of the WAY2GO project had the chance to discuss, partners from Cyprus, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Portugal and Turkey. On a 2 day meeting in August the partners met for the second time in the beautiful city of Stockholm for a productive dialog and the project’s details.

On the first day of the meeting, there was a great brainstorming session about inclusivity in each partner’s country and how inclusivity can be improved through the project. Due to the personal experiences of the partners, amazing ideas were expressed on how to approach the next steps and what could be added to the to-do lists.

The second day was even more productive, as EUROPIAMO (Italy) organized a knowledge-sharing session. More specifically, each partner wrote different topics they would like to share with the group in order to expand knowledge. Through voting, 3 topics emerged, in which the participants had the opportunity to ask questions and express their concerns.

The meeting ended with a delicious fika (tea and cinnamon rolls) and warm goodbyes for a safe trip back home.

TUA Project support young people with DS/ASD

Empowering Youth with ASD and Down Syndrome through Art & Entrepreneurship

Written by Nikolina Frangoullidou on 24/03/2023. Posted in Project News. No Comments on Empowering Youth with ASD and Down Syndrome through Art & Entrepreneurship

We are excited to announce the launch of the latest European initiative – ‘TUA – The Unexpected Artrepreneur’ to help people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Down Syndrome (DS) combat feelings of exclusion and marginalisation. Through the use of visual art, this project aims to provide long-term soft skills of self-expression, social innovation and social participation amongst young people with mental disabilities, as well as to create inclusive and equal learning environments.

The project is set to develop a specialised curriculum and training focused on teaching the intersection of the visual art and entrepreneurship to minimise the challenges experienced at hand. Using an interactive e-learning platform and toolkits, the project hopes not only to enhance the overall feeling of belonging, but also to encourage young people to become agents of social change through art and entrepreneurship. The training materials will be available to support professionals working with youth, as well as teaching toolkits for young people to access concepts about art and social entrepreneurship.

Supported by CARDET, alongside CESIE, ARTIT Athens, Amazing Youth, CARDET, Aproximar and KMOP Policy Center, ‘The Unexpected Artrepreneur’ promises to be a transformative project for these young people, their families and communities. By teaching marginalized youth to share their views and stories with the world ‘The Unexpected Artrepreneur’ seeks to reinforce common values and civic engagement and strengthen young people’s sense of initiative and increase the quality, innovation and recognition of work produced by young people with DS/ASD.
