Service-learning methodology workshops Solidarity furniture experience

From the Pre-Labor service we promote the labor preparation of young people with Mental Health disorders by conducting a furniture restoration workshop. In it, work habits are acquired while serving the community.

Disused furniture is restored for social use or commercialization through social entities.

What the participants think about the project

The furniture restoration workshop has helped me to improve in concentration and resistance. I would recommend to everyone that before throwing a piece of furniture think if you really can't give it another use.

E.M.

I really like this activity, I learn and I think I can have a better future.

I have improved attention, responsibility and teamwork.

And reusing furniture we help people.

M.C.

The professionals who have participated in this activity have observed that it greatly improves the self�esteem of the participants, there is a significant improvement in the expressiveness especially when the product is going to be delivered.

There is also a greater involvement in its rehabilitation process, improving resistance capacities, organization of tasks, initiative, etc. more quickly.
