The course focuses on what functional diversity is, especially Parkinson’s, what support for people with functional diversity may involve and how to provide it, how to collaborate within a group, and how to support both your own health potential and that of others.
This will enable participants to make better use of their leisure time as a key element in personal development, education, and awareness of values such as tolerance, respect, solidarity, non-discrimination, and social inclusion of people with disabilities. In this way, active participation and autonomy among young people are encouraged.
