Our organization’s goal is to contribute to the creation of an inclusive and socially responsible community in Klaipėda. One of the initiatives we implement to achieve this goal is social workshops – a service designed for working-age individuals with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities, helping them develop job skills, build self-confidence, and create a more independent life.

Who Are Social Workshops For?

Social workshops are aimed at working-age individuals (18 years and older) with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities.

How Do the Workshops Work?

Social workshop activities are tailored individually to each participant, considering their abilities, needs, and expectations. Participants perform various work tasks – from creating handmade products to providing services. The entire process is guided by qualified specialists: a social worker, a master of goods production and service provision, a personal care worker, and a marketing specialist. These professionals not only teach participants but also help their work find a place in the market.

The workshops include individuals aged 18 and above whose working capacity level ranges from 0 to 55%. These individuals face various challenges in daily life, but the workshop activities provide them with opportunities to overcome social exclusion, grow, and strive for independence.
