🔷 Activity Details
Description
This voluntary activity will be held in the “Ca' Rossa” (Red House), a residential house where about 12 people between 18 and 65 years old live. The users have mental health issues and/or intellective disability, with mainly rehabilitative needs and no need for continuous health care. The living environment fosters individual and social emancipation processes and the personal independence of the guests who are invited to develop their hobbies and abilities and express specific needs.
