The project is aimed at working with people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system and other forms of disability. One of the most important tasks, we see, is to popularize billiards as a professional sport among people with disabilities. Thus showing that billiards is available to everyone. The competitions will be held in two categories, wheelchair athletes and athletes with other forms of disability.
Antonina Nesterova’s team, the project «Softy style»
The project is aimed at developing the acceptance of the characteristics of their bodies by children and adolescents through the creation of a unique style of adaptive casual clothing. The problem of corsetotherapy, namely the unwillingness of children to constantly wear a corset, prompted us to look at this socio-psychological problem in a different way, from the perspective of changing attitudes towards it and through the prism of fashionable language, through creativity.
We want to tell and show the guys that casual clothes can be fashionable, attractive, that you can use prints to create them, as your secret language, a sign of belonging to a special community, a cipher. Creativity is an effective tool for developing important life skills in children, it is an endless opportunity to make choices, reconsider decisions and evaluate results.
The program is implemented with the support of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the city of Moscow in conjunction with the Moscow City Organization of the All-Russian Society of the Disabled.
The City Methodological Center for the Socio-cultural Integration of people with disabilities into the cultural life of the city of Moscow participates in the implementation of the program.
