recreational-motor-educational activities for children with cognitive disabilities, conceived and created by the Social Cooperative 'Il Tulipano'

On Thursday, March 2 at 10,00:XNUMX am, in the Burri Hall of the Museum and Royal Wood of Capodimonte, the results of the XNUMXth edition of “A Royal Wood for Everyone” will be presented. A program of initiatives that aims to offer children with autism spectrum disorder and/or cognitive disabilities, in the metropolitan area of ​​Naples, inclusive social opportunities through the creation of recreational-motor-educational activities, museum visits and moments of relief for families. The project is conceived and created by the Cooperativa Sociale il Tulipano, through Tulipano Art Friendly, in collaboration with the education office of the Museum and Royal Wood of Capodimonte and financed with the financial contribution of the Fondazione Banco Napoli.

"Cultural venues," says Giovanni Minucci of Tulipano Art Friendly, "prove, when well-structured and with the involvement of trained staff, to be a unique opportunity for learning, socialization, and inclusion for families, schools, and associations of people with autism and/or cognitive disabilities, along with their friends and family. A visit to the Royal Woods of Capodimonte spontaneously becomes an opportunity for inclusion and welcome for everyone, without exception. Starting in April, we will be ready to launch the seventh edition of the 'A Royal Wood for Everyone' project," Minucci added, "which also provided an internship and job placement opportunity for a young adult, who, as a user/participant, is now working as an educator within the Tulipano team."

During the seminar, the activities carried out and the objectives achieved from 2017 to 2022 will be illustrated. “A Forest for Everyone” is a project now recognized as good practice, validated by the research work and scientific publications of the Department of Motor Sciences and Well-being of the Parthenope University of Naples and the Department of Translational Medical Sciences of the Federico II University of Naples. A model of enjoyment of places of culture and inclusion where the concepts of well-being, beauty and person find their synthesis in concrete actions “For and With the kids” and their families.
