Access to Leisure: We give an update on the project
Leisure activities of people with learning difficulties
People with learning difficulties continue to be marginalised in the leisure sector. To counteract this, ACCESS to Leisure training manuals and courses have been developed. We give an overview of what is currently happening!
Where are we?
In January 2023, the training for professionals took place in Budapest.
Professionals from the different countries (Hungary, Belgium, Slovenia, Finland, Austria) got inspired by each other's work.
We worked together for 5 days on different themes and explored how a professional
can be a leisure co-facilitator. For example the use of resources for leisure, the concept of befriending and working together with local informal supporters.
Differences and similarities were discussed. Tools to support persons with disabilities in choosing their own leisure activities were also examined. We worked and brainstormed a lot during the days and in the evenings we took time to discover the different cultures.
