Inclusion through art and culture - Portugal ● We have few institutions that develop a systematic work of inclusion or professionalization of people with disabilities in Portugal ● AFID is one of the institutions that includes art and culture as one of their main axis of work ● Nevertheless, Art and culture is still seen manly as an occupational activity and not a structural activity for the inclusion of disabled people ● In Portugal, the training of professionals intended to incorporate both artistic knowledge and pedagogical know-how is still rare ● In art and culture It’s not enough to be a good trainer. It’s necessary to know how to produce art and culture (to be an artist also)

Inclusion through art and culture - Portugal ● In Portugal, as in Spain, France and Sweden, be a disable professional could mean the loss of several public support, namely funding and subsidies ● Society, and public policies must create conditions for a good balance between professionalization and inclusion.

The course

The course feedback The feedback was extremely positive, with almost all the participants saying at the final course evaluation form that they acquired new skills during the training session, and, most importantly, that the practical sessions changed their view of the work that should be done with disabled people. We ask participants to share their opinions on the Clap Hands Creative Lab Facebook Page. https: //www. facebook. com/claphandscreativelab/

The course feedback “The "Good practices in the Inclusion and integration of people with disabilities through Art and Culture" was an added value, where I was able to acquire new concepts and knowledge that I did not know. The best part of the day was staying in the AFID institution with the users who frequent the establishment. Sharing laughs and knowledge with them was very productive. Thank you for this opportunity!
