Fostering Creativity in Adult Learners with disabilities through arts
Purpose and aim of the project
The FOCAL Project focuses on fostering creativity in adult learners with special educational needs applying the approach of inclusive education. One of the main goals of FOCAL is to support people with special educational needs(SEN) to have equal rights and equal opportunities and to have a say in decisions which affect them as active members of society.
