Step One

Just to give you all a quick update!

Lots of things are happening in Belgium at the moment....

We've had our first contact with Wisper (www.wisper.be), an organisation in Flanders who work around arts with different target groups. Within their organisation they also have several coaches who are specialised in working with disabled people. We're hoping to reach an agreement with them to coach our group.... Watch this space!

Last night we also had a meeting with the local 'disabled advise board'. We've outlined the project for them and they promised to take it back to their respective institutions. They were all very positive about the project and didn't think they would have any problem finding interested learners. Finding motivated facilitators who would be willing to do most of the work on a voluntary basis might be a bit harder. But still, we're hoping to have a group by the end of January!

So far, so good I'd say.....
