Gender issues in

Work

The presentation aims to raise awareness about gender issues among Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (PID) in work contexts and to explore these issues through drama and alternative perspectives. It seeks to help participants understand key concepts in drama/theatre and their applicability to PID, fostering new learning motivations through experiential and artistic activities. Additionally, it aims to motivate trainees to engage with the project's subsequent stages.
