Field of Miracles

Description

"The European project ""Campo dei Miracoli"", concived to promote innovative ortotherapeutical practices and other related activities in European historical gardens for people with Down's Syndrome and other physical, intellectual and relational disabilities and able-bodied persons, with respect of gender equality, inclusion, creative and interdisciplinary education. The project was conceived in spring 2016, during the first edition of Trisome Games in Florence. The project has been successfully finished, with the goal achieved to improve the quality of life and the social and professional inclusion of people with disabilities between the ages of 18 and 50 and their families, promoting activities, carried out mainly within important European historical gardens, in order to encourage innovative teaching practices and experiment with new forms of museum teaching. In this way, contributing to the enhancement of cultural, historical, artistic and environmental heritage in partner's countries, the project has obtained in 2018 the important recognition of the Italian Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo (MIBACT) on the occasion of the European Year of Cultural Heritage. Achieving these important results has been made possible by the close collaboration of all Project partners. With consolidated experience in the different key areas of the project, each of them has fostered a fruitful exchange of ideas and good practices. The main thread of the entire project was the fairy tale of the world's most famous puppet, Pinocchio, who, with its metamorphosis, accompanied the participants in a real process of inclusion and personal growth, through the significant naming of outputs and workshops. All project partners have promoted activities in their territorial contexts focused on horticultualtherapy: educational meetings, experiential visits, educational courses and workshops that, thanks to the collaboration with important public and private institutions and experienced professionals in the sector, have allowed people with disabilities, with able-bodied students, in fostering a process of learning new botanical and agronomic skills and development of the five senses and their relational skills, thanks to the contact with nature and plants. The close comparison and collaboration between the partner countries has been essential even for the structuring of a course, perfectly transferable in other territorial contexts, aimed at training specialized operators in the field of horticultualtherapy who accompanied the project participants in carrying out activities such as the project and maintenance of therapeutic gardens, with a particular interest in the preservation and enhancement of the rich botanical heritage of gardens and orchards present in many historical gardens. The activities promoted in the three partner's countries have also allowed to develop other activities, such as journalistic writing workshops and artisanal workshops in jewellery or creative reuse of scraps from textile processing - which, always starting from the botanical theme, has involved the participants in further activities, made possible thanks to the synergies and collaborations activated during the two-year project that, as a tangible product of what has been carried out, have ended with the realization of particular ""golden ticks"" that, recalling the fairy tale of Pinocchio, emphasize the concreteness that characterized the whole project. An international scientific committee, made up of doctors, psychologists and members from each project partner, monitored all the activities and the beneficial effects found on the participants that, at the end of each activities, have received a certificate to certify the new skills acquired. Each project activity and mobility and its results have been made transferable through a specifically implemented site and an online sharing and e-learning platform. The videos, made specifically by professionals in the sector and disseminated through the main social media to promote project's results, are very relevant to show the activities and mobility carried out by the participants in Campo dei Miracoli Project and in the visual realization of the philosophy of the Project, represented by the metamorphosis of Pinocchio from puppet to child:https://www.campodeimiracoli.eu/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkxA3Zy2BZo&fbclid=IwAR087q2hrrSRLKwa-CjCumwmJoQgV5YCmrnnhUDxjjN7bNxRTIGWbnVnF94"
