ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAM FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS – GASTRONOMY WORKSHOP

As part of the Academic Enrichment Program designed to support the development of individuals with special needs, a Gastronomy Workshop was held this week.

Accompanied by volunteer academics and university student mentors, participants had the opportunity to enhance both their fine motor skills and their awareness of culinary culture. In this special session, they experienced the step-by-step process of preparing hamburgers under guided supervision.

Throughout the training, participants engaged in hands-on activities that promoted teamwork, following instructions, and creative presentation. Simultaneously, a Mindfulness Training session was organized for the families of the participants. Through this training, families developed greater awareness in areas such as staying present, stress management, and effective communication.
