What?

One week young people with different sensitivity to the world, but the same activity in life they lived together, shared problems and dreams, cried and sang…

In the process of work, the most painful topics for the group turned out to be domestic violence, problems between different generations, misunderstanding of "Special needs" by society. Working on different situations on the topic "us and violence", using different theatrical techniques, the young people created and presented at the international arts festival Apollonia the show "Like fingers on a hand". Students from the Sozopol schools were included in the inextricably included discussions.

Foundation Apollonia expressed a desire for artistic performances of people with disabilities to find a place in each of its publications in the future.

DIARY:

THE HANDS HAVE ESTABLISHED THEMSELVES AS AN EXPRESSION OF SPEECH IN THE GROUP. WE DEMONSTRATED THE SET TASKS, PROVIDING WITH GOOD ARTICULATION THE RULES FOR THEIR IMPLEMENTATION. MANY OF THEM THE YOUNG PEOPLE HAD TO FILL WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED.
