Our learnings on Lessons 1-4 from Madrid:

# data[].attributes.body
1. Draw treasure cards for each lesson and for the overall course. Each step is an island. You need minutes for each island (activity). You and your participants know, what is ahead of them, how much they have done. They always now, where they are. We plan 4 hours for each lesson. We will provide 2 breaks.

2. We will use the different ice-breakers we did in Madrid also for inbetween (after every break).

3. Use costumes for the role play. Doctors kit, waiters apron etc.. this helps to imagine the role.

4. Our approach to the trainer team: we are an inclusive TRAINER TANDEM. We are equally supporting and helping each other. We are NOT teachers, but TRAINERS (adult education). We will have a third person as an assistant in the courses to support the process and the participants.

5. Fiona will build her own story for lesson 2 and tell it with with the crads + - change. This way she will give participants an example, so they know better, what to do.

6. In the lesson 4 we will introduce UN-CRPD. We will have an easy-to-read version with us and show it to the participants. After we will introduce the 5 articles.

I made a ppt, it was a big help for Dorka and for the students also. I upload it; it's in Hungarian but you may use the pictures and the structure.

We danced, we wrote and draw, we talked a lot, we acted. For some people it was hard to understand the point of the play. They said that they go to the doctor with their mother and mother talks for them, and it's OK. So we practiced the scene with the young person talking.

We have one nonverbal student. he was active, he understood the situations, but whwn we will practice our speesh it can cause some difficulties.

We began our 2nd Self-Advocates course this week. This second group is definitely more of a challenge as our participants have very different characters and communicative abilities that range from chatty, vivacious and extroverted to philosophical and loquacious to practically non-verbal. (Only two with Down syndrome, the others with other diagnoses and cognitive disabilities) The upside is that these young people already know each other and this can facilitate some situations. I would add that we are sure that all of the participants do understand the lessons. However, in addition to the communication difficulties, there may also be an issue with memory for at least one participant so it remains to be seen how much of the process they will be able to put into practice. We are concentrating on simpler objectives for some of our young people.

(Sorry about the photo ... this was the best of a very bad lot!)

# data[].attributes.body
Saturday, November 16, 2024, first lesson of our self-advocate program begins: What does it mean to be a Self Advocate ?

The course takes place at Train Inc Café, in the meeting room 1st floor, in order to accommodate as many participants as possible, especially those coming from far away.

There were 11 participants aged 16 to 32, girls and boys + 2 new members of the association also joining in. Jean-Philippe started the first lesson, with the help of Kevin and myself.

For this first lesson, we decided that we were all students, myself included. The role of teacher would come later, after gaining experience in the upcoming lessons, as well as from the rest of the Together for Inclusion program. Given the size of the group, we wanted to ensure a good cohesion among the participants, so a fantastic icebreaker involving dancing and self-introductions from each participant was scheduled.

The first to introduce themselves did so, in a theatrical style, and the rest of the group continued to play along, encouraged by each other. It was surprising to see some members, who were usually very introverted, become so uninhibited. Jean-Philippe began by showing the videos from Madrid, addressing the question: What does it mean to be a Self Advocate ? Then we moved on to videos featuring speakers of various levels.

We immediately felt a growing interest in speaking up, with Jean-Philippe serving as a role model.

Several participants shared personal anecdotes, relating them to what could make them representatives in their own lives.

During the role-playing activities, their desire to speak out loudly and clearly to explain that they knew how to do many things and that they were capable of speaking for themselves was much greater than the help we could offer. Surprisingly, most of them asked to watch the speaker videos again in order to refine their lines for the second scene of the role-play, where they were no longer passive.

As a result, we modified the program and showed the Madrid videos, highlighting both good and bad examples to follow.

During their role-plays, Kevin and Dylan categorically refused to remain passive and confidently spoke clearly.

When asked, "What did you like most about this lesson?" the participants were divided evenly, with half citing the icebreaker activity and the other half the speaking activities.

The interest in using speech as a key to unlocking all their rights and offering them all possibilities is truly real! I am, I can, I will !

The group work also sparked an incredible enthusiasm, leading everyone to think, "I can do this too..."

# data[].attributes.body
The video showcases impactful moments from the self-advocacy sessions for individuals with Down syndrome, implemented by the Down Syndrome Association Malta, highlighting the participants’ journey in developing their confidence, communication skills, and self-expression.

These sessions provided a safe space where individuals could voice their opinions, share experiences, and learn essential skills to advocate for their rights and independence.
