Here, we could observe activities such as the artistic ateliers and the arts and crafts for youngsters/adults with disabilities. Cooperative Nazarone uses within these activities different strategies: • Handcraft: o serial work (a product created by several young people who contributes as a group in the process of production); o individualized work (a product started and finished by each young person who shows better autonomy of execution); • Artistic products; • Development of a personal artistic style, the young artists also receive support in the implementation, dissemination and commercialization; • Product marketing spaces; • Art galleries and participation in national and international exhibitions; • International Festival of Different Abilities: theatrical, musical and dance performances; art exhibitions; open Festival; workshops; seminars; lab-days; book launches; movie projections; conference about Corporate Social Responsibility, etc.

7. From good practices to best practice

During the MOVE project, we had the possibility to learn and deepen many good practices. Initially the idea was to identify the best practices to be used as a model to address the issue of including young people through Art and Sport. Nevertheless, the first learning of the project MOVE was related to the awareness of the impossibility of proceeding in this sense, without a significant loss of information. For this reason, rather than analysing only the best practices, it was considered appropriate to carry out a complete analysis of all good practices, aimed at identifying the strengths of each one. During this process, we realized that every good practice had relevant aspects that need to be taken into account. So, we decided to create a guideline able to include the most important elements of each practice. The process that led to the definition of the logical model and the guideline can be summarized in four steps: 1. Brainstorming for the analysis of all the good practices; 2. Organization of the common elements in four quadrants; 3. Sharing the results with all project partners and integrations; 4. Final brainstorming for the definition of the guidelines emerged and the logical triangle model.

7.1 Brainstorming for the analysis of all the good practices

The first activity was the most complex because it required an in-depth analysis of all the good practices observed, in order to detect their specificities and strengths. The brainstorming was moderated by the project leader and the working group was composed of three other professionals from The Netherlands, Portugal and Italy. The multidisciplinary group created a preliminary draft containing the strengths of the nine good practices visited: Tom, Cor Unum, MET, Chapitô, Ordem de Santiago, Museum for the Future, Piazza dei Mestieri, Coop. Nazareno, Timothy.
