Today, the new DisAbuse: Disablist Bullying Course begins at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym. The objective is to address bullying against individuals with disabilities with the help of the Lego® Serious Play®, Method, learning from the experiences of young men and women, as well as adults, with special educational needs and disabilities.
The 27 participants, aged 15 and up, are teachers, support teachers, psychologists, psychotherapists and/or individuals with disabilities, from:
- Liceo Edoardo Amaldi - Rome
- Social Cooperative Rifornimento in Volo
- IIS Piaget-Diaz - Rome
- Social Cooperative Nostos
- IIS Antonio Magarotto - Rome (for individuals with hearing impairments)
- Liceo Dante Alighieri - Latina
The course is organised into four meetings for a total of 21 hours (see programma). During the course, participants will use the Lego® Serious Play® Method in an innovative and creative manner to represent the different types of bullying, its effects, the involved actors, and the tools and strategies to contrast it efficiently. The activities will be held by Cecilia Stajano and Ilaria Graziano, certified Lego® Serious Play® Method and Mta Learning facilitators.
The course is part of Project DisAbuse: Disablist Bullying - Experience into Change, Providing the Right Support Services, implemented as part of the Erasmus+ Cooperation Programme for Innovation and the Exchange of Good Practices. The course is the result of the continued collaboration between the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and the Anti-bullying Centre at the University of Dublin with the partnership of important research centres working to prevent and contrast bullying: Institute of Art & Design Technology (Ireland), Lisbon University Institute (Portugal) and University of Murcia (Spain).
