Resumo: The hosting organization is a non-profit
organisation for people with intellectual disabilities, partially finanzed by the
Government of Catalonia (Generalitat).
We have two homes and one Occupational Centre (workshop). The attention is
based on the relationship established with the people with disabilities, to achieve a
familiar and integrative dimension.
Our organisation is part of the International Federation for people with mental disabilities, which is formed by over 130 communities around the world.

The aim of the organisation is to establish mutual relations, where integration,
participation and responsibility are important for people with disabilities in all the
different projects and processes inside the organisation and in society.
The relation with the people around is very important for the personal development. The integration in the local community is therefore essential to be open to the world around us and to form part of the life of our village
