Very often, social and cultural interventions aimed at the integration of people with disabilities tend to segregate the beneficiaries, as they are provided within protected, “closed” contexts, taking place in a perspective of “assistance” and isolation, with negative consequences on the perception of disability towards society and a misreading of the real needs of people with disabilities.
The Hi-Ability project wants to “open the doors to new spaces of education”, promoting education for autonomy, independent and inclusive life for adult people with intellectual disabilities (PWID), in a context still not very accessible such as hiking and eco-tourism.
