LET’S CREATE A SENSORY PATH

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

Take part in the construction of a sensory pathway at the Foyer d’accueil médicalisé (FAM) La Fontaine in Gien (45), which provides permanent accommodation for people with disabilities. As well as the technical aspects, this project will be a great human experience, as you will be living in contact with the residents and will have the opportunity to share moments together. This work camp is part of a project to develop the outside areas requested by the ADAPEI 45 association, which administers the site. The new facility will help residents to develop their relationship with the outside environment in all its dimensions, as well as improving their self-confidence and motor skills. Your job will be to carry out the preparatory work (laying out the ground), build a vast wooden structure, and then install the various elements making up the sensory trail, to the delight of the residents and care assistants living on site all year round.

TRAINING DURING THE ACTIVITY

–Construction and Landscaping:
You will gain practical skills in outdoor construction and landscaping, including ground preparation, wooden structure building, and installing elements for the sensory trail.
-Collaboration and Communication:
Working as a team with other volunteers and residents will help you develop communication and collaboration skills, learning to work effectively with diverse individuals.
