The process…The process of this work required

much time..It started by giving them the

necessary and very basic education by our lecturers.

The patient process..About 2 months; getting the

personal and character information..

About 6 months; applying very basic skills

About 4-6 months; a very specific subject or occupation according to his/her abilities..

What has happened up to now?The process still goes on..We have a folk dance group that

consists of mentally handicapped girls.

Orthopedically disordered students have a place to carry out their activities in our Community center.

We gave a place for two of our students, and now they are creating ceramics, and selling their products.

Dissemination; Our target is to increase the

awareness;We not only improve our students

economically, but also improve them socially, in short we make them believe themselves confident and make them feel valuable..

We encouraged the Urgup Municapility and local government to involve into the project..

What can you do?• Do you have a free chair for the

disabled in your chamber, in your co-working area?

• If not, is it possible to include some of them into the project or give them some roles?
