Our aim is to empower the students by improving their social and economic integration. We offer specific education based on individual needs and offer them developmental activities in view of preparing them for a vocation or a career.

Empowering people with disabilities also means helping them to restore acceptance, self-respect and dignity.

Every activity aims at sharing and transmitting specific knowledge required for everyday life and prepares them for a vocation or a career, always taking into consideration the student's specific needs and abilities.

Apart from helping with all the activities required for the running of the centre (cleaning, washing, cooking), students physically capable do some exercise (stretching and other workout).

Students are taught basic hygiene such a teeth brushing and hand cleaning, basic and indispensable vocabulary (parts of the body, their name and address...), elementary knowledge such as reading, writing and counting (and recognising the value of coins and notes), recognising items such as fruit and vegetables... All these activities help the students to acquire more autonomy and responsibility in their lives.

Students are also taught a vocation or a job in the handicraft project to contribute to their financial autonomy.
