Centers for people with special needs

How can our methodology benefit your work:

A never seen before methodology which meets people with special needs with people outside of their rehab centers under the motto ‘Around bread we are all EQUAL! ‘
A therapeutical approach to complex psychological and physical issues
Development of cognitive, social, communicative, independent-living skills through the process of bread making
Our methodology is a good practice of activities decreasing the levels of prejudices towards people with special needs
Empowerment of people with special needs through the process of bread making and creating their own bread figures thus motivating them to be active citizens of the society
Diversification of social events in which people with special needs can participate
Overcoming prejudices based on different abilities
Provision of a sheltered space for people with special needs where they can engage in creative activities, spend some time outside their daily environment and improve their motoric and social skills.
Sharing personal stories – kneading bread with the feeling, aroma and symbolism of home and family that it creates touches people deeply and helps them easily open to others;
Team work – participants work in pairs, thus improved collaboration skills
Development of emotional regulation, cognitive processes and practical skills for a more fulfilling independent life

Deeply based prejudices and stereotypes in the local community related to people with special needs
The voice of people with special needs is rarely heard and appreciated
