The project aims to strengthen resilience and offer the opportunity for social inclusion to marginalised groups by developing and testing resilience-strengthening non-formal educational activities based on self-narration through visual arts and theatre. Mainly it addresses some of the target groups that have been particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic: elderly people or people with disabilities, people with mental health issues and health care professionals. The final aim is to accompany them to tell their stories of adaptation and transformation following the pandemic and to build on that to strengthen skills using artistic methods. The project will also contribute to the pedagogical research in the field of creative methods applied to adult Education.

THE #MeRest PROJECT AIMS TO DEVELOP:

• An innovative training package for strengthening adult resilience to life’s challenges.
• Innovative tools for professional development of adult educators, in relation to the goal of increasing resilience.
