About the Project
Art Made Man through art therapies and handicraft is a project funded with the support of the Grundtvig Programme of the European Commission. It arises from different concerns:
The social and economic marginalization faced by the “weakest part” of the population of the countries involved.
- The dependent position of disabled people due to a physical or a psychological deficiency, and of the dependent migrants due to the lack of cultural identity and reference points in the new environment.
It is in this context that AMM has identified as direct beneficiaries: "Those who live on the margins of the society and of the labor market, a strategic objective of the European Union and an economic and social priority".
AIMING AT enhancing:
• Their Professional and Transversal competences.
• Their Interpersonal Relations
• The acquisition of practical-operative competences.
Through an INNOVATIVE METHODOLOGY that integrates DANCE MOVEMENT, ART THERAPY and CRAFT.
With its object, AMM responds to the EU strategies starting from Lisbon. Adult education is, in fact, a key component of LLL. It is considered a “public good” and a public responsibility, with a cultural mediation role and a support social capital growth in terms of an increase of citizen participation, better health conditions and higher level of wealth and individual realization feeling.
TARGET GROUP: Disadvantage people, within the most vulnerable groups of the populations, according with the local context.
