We support people with disabilities so that they can live life on their own terms and decide their own future.
The Occupational Therapy Workshop (WTZ) run by the Arkadia Foundation is a place that offers support, fosters development, and promotes the social and professional activation of people with disabilities.
Through activities in specialized workshops, participants acquire new skills, develop greater independence, and prepare for active participation in social and professional life.
The workshop helps individuals discover their potential and strengthens their sense of self-worth.
How do we do it?
At the Workshop, participants have the opportunity to develop their competencies and skills across 12 specialized studios. In these studios, participants prepare for employment in specific professions, learning both how to perform job-related tasks and how to organize their work.
Find out more about the individual studios, our newsletter, the products created by the participants, and how to become a participant in the Occupational Therapy Workshop (WTZ).
