School programme
To express yourself, discover your talents and grow in independence, with goals designed around you.
The School programme aims to provide specific, personalised artistic tools to people who need to express themselves and become aware of their talents, facing their difficulties and therefore aiming to grow in independence in managing them. It becomes essential to identify, for each student, their personal challenges, which must be very carefully calibrated in relation to their difficulties and to a reasonable, agreed and considered estimate of their potential for development during the academic year.
