Throughout the training, knowledge, methodologies and \u00a0skills have been developed so to co-create the educational pathway with the following objective in mind: to improve the life of adults with intellectual disabilities by encouraging family therapeutic gardening and family therapeutic cooking as a way to support their lifelong learning (LL) and independence.Thrive, the British partner of the project, hosted and lead the training activities, due to their experience acquired in the use of gardening to bring positive changes to the lives of people with disabilities or health problems through the \u00a0methodology of social and therapeutic horticulture (STH). As a result of this, the consortium of MeTURA has now the material to develop the tools hence adapting \u00a0this knowledge to a wide range of intellectual needs while providing training to tutors and social workers in their national contexts. This training will help the above mentioned professionals to develop skills to be then deployed with their beneficiaries during the upcoming project activities. Practitioners, families and people with disabilitie will engage together in these activities therefore contrivuting to the reduction of social disadvantage and marginalization.<\/p>\n
