WORKSHOP FOR THE MIND
The focus of this workshop for the mind is placed on the different cognitive functions, with work ideas aimed at temporal and spatial orientation, visual attention, memory, language, logic, and grammatical skills. Ideas are sought to stimulate conversation, creating a climate of participation and cohesion, allowing each participant to talk about themselves to different interlocutors.
Didactic software, cognitive cards, hardcover tools with progressive complexity, photos, images, and board games (cards, checkers, chess) are used.
ARTISTIC AND THERAPEUTIC WORKSHOPS
The artistic and therapeutic workshops designed by Sim-patia aim to integrate the multimedia experience with concrete proposals that pursue the same learning objectives but can involve different dimensions such as corporeity, affectivity, and relationships to discover the potential of one's own senses and sensations.
In a clinical condition in which communication is often deficient, forms of expression such as theater, painting, music, and dance, without any skill being required, make it possible to enhance one's own fantasy and imagination.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY WORKSHOPS
Occupational therapy workshops promote specific rehabilitation interventions aimed at improving general autonomy. The recovery of interests, knowledge, and skills is promoted in a protected and guided environment.
Through specific activities such as cooking, gardening at the counter, and home management, we want to give guests the opportunity to recover and maintain their manual and organizational skills specific to a working context.
NEUROSENSORIAL WORKSHOP OF ATMOSPHERES
The neurosensorial workshop of atmospheres is an experimental workshop that consists in recreating familiar, daily, essential atmospheres linked to the cyclical nature of the seasons, to perfumes, fragrances, traditions, etc., to the passage of time and to the stroke of its appointments and events so that they remain fixed even if we change and mutate.
WORKSHOP OF CREATIVE ACTIVITIES
The creative activities workshop offers the opportunity to experiment with expressive techniques to represent and communicate the dimensions of imagination and fantasy.
The manual activities of making, cutting, and creating have the aim of offering guests as many experiences as possible, placing the production purpose in the background to the advantage of creative autonomy and gratification.
ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE PERSONAL HARMONY
Often these are not real workshops but activities designed and managed by Sim-patia's educators, who intend to respond to the
need to include more relaxed moments in the week,
dedicated to those non-productive but beneficial activities for the person's harmony.
Among the various planned activities are:
VIRTUAL TRIPS: traveling even in virtual form creates an opportunity to get to know places, territories, and realities that would otherwise remain unknown, not only through multimedia technology but also through the first-person experiences of volunteers who share their travel experiences.
KARAOKE: listening to songs, recent or not, offers the possibility of reliving and reawakening memories and passions. The possibility of being able to sing them with the help of written texts in a group context generates a joyful and well-being atmosphere.
FILM VIEWING: from comedy to romance and action cinematography, films are chosen and proposed with the aim of benefiting from moments of relaxation and sharing as the stories and characters are, at a later time, revisited and commented on between guests and operators.
TRIPS AND OUTINGS ON THE TERRITORY: the activity includes outings on the territory for recreational purposes or for personal purchases. For accompaniment, the team also makes use of the help of volunteers.
MUSIC WORKSHOP "SIMPATHY-BAND"
The "Simpathy Band" was born from a musical workshop that has been active for more than ten years. Guests, operators, and volunteers of Sim-patia are part of it. The goal is to recognize and enhance the resources of individuals, in this case through music and the strength of the group. The band creates and adapts songs from blues to ethnic and performs outside the territory in the context of demonstrations and events. The band boasts to its credit the participation in over 50 shows held within and outside the Province of Como, as well as in collaboration with other artists and musical groups.
