On this background, our project aims to built a creative training kit in social art therapy, containing methods and approaches which meet the target groups' particular needs, and which will make learning more interesting, increase the motivation of learners and their responsibility for learning, improve self-esteem, reduce adult learners anxiety, stress affective components of learning, etc.
The educational approach will be experiential in a non-formal and informal context exploring and using the existing skills and talents of the participants; developing as necessary, new and appropriate skills. It includes research regarding the use of Art Therapy training modules in vocational training, in different social fields at the level of partners' countries, developing training sessions (on a common agreed learning framework) in Art Therapy on pilot groups of social workers and a "test-training module", inserted in "official curricula" of a vocational program in social fields.
The project provides, (in each partners context), flexibility to develop appropriate action and allows participants to develop managerial capacity, both of the project and of their own personal needs and requirements.
