Short Overview The first phase involved research and study activities in the partner countries, where we sought to identify both the needs of patients and their educators and good practices of art therapy in therapeutic communities (TC) for drug addicts.

In particular, there was a focus on good practices that use digital tools or could be adapted for the use of digital tools.

The second phase involved educators/art-therapists from the three partner countries in a joint training event to exchange best methods and techniques for working in CTs. In the last phase, an art therapy program using digital tools was implemented in the therapeutic centers involved. The use of digital tools in carrying out art therapy activities in CTs was an overall goal and innovative idea of the project, as was the description and evaluation of best practices.

The aim of the DARTOUT project was also to set the conditions for a positive impact of art and digital on the centers involved and the possibility of transferring the results to other settings. Best practices identified during the implementation of the project will be disseminated through scientific publications.

Objectives of the monitoring the DARTOUT Project Five steps that we followed to monitor our project's progress: 1. Create a project implementation monitoring system 2. Plan the project step progress 3. Set clear goals for each step 4. Create surveys and choose right QL & QN data analysis 5. Make adjustments to goals if needed
