An inclusive project for schools
Learning Together is an inclusive educational project born out of AMPANS’ activities aimed at users who participate in the Occupational Center service. Initially, it was a paper recycling activity developed by the users themselves as part of the entity’s activity program.
This inclusive activity, which was initially carried out internally, began to be shared with schools as a way of providing creative resources for diversity inclusion in classrooms. As a result, the workshop has become an activity offered to schools, through which, beyond learning the paper recycling technique, users are at the center of the activity, serving as teachers who teach children the paper recycling technique.
This idea of placing individuals with intellectual disabilities as teachers from whom one can learn leads AMPANS to adapt other activities in the “Learning Together” format, ultimately offering various activities through the “Learning Together” program to schools and other entities and groups.
The program is primarily aimed at students in preschool and primary school. However, other groups have requested the activity and it has been adapted for secondary school students, university students, and other groups such as the elderly or educational services in correctional facilities.
