We strive for financial independence. That is why we work on projects that generate income — such as selling handmade clothing and locally grown vegetables. In this way, students not only learn entrepreneurship, but also contribute to the sustainability of the centre.

Healthy food is especially important for our often vulnerable students. Eating well keeps them fit! Some of the vegetables are grown in our own greenhouse, where the students also work themselves. This way they see where their food comes from and how it is grown.

The students follow practical training courses, including: gardening and greenhouse management, activities of daily living (self-care, housekeeping), hairdressing, sewing and clothing design, IT lessons, and music, sport and handicrafts.
In this way they develop their talents and self-confidence.

Every week we go for a walk with our students. A group like ours naturally stands out, but this way it also becomes a familiar sight in the neighbourhood. We invite many people to visit our open days.
Thanks to the mother of one of our students, who is a social media influencer, we are also becoming much better known, and more and more people come to visit our centre. We also try to raise our profile through radio and television.
Recently, we have also been in contact with other schools in the area, where our students are allowed to join sports days and other activities. This way they meet ‘regular’ pupils, who in turn discover how fun and approachable people with disabilities can be! Our graduation ceremonies are also a highlight every year.
All in all, we try to involve the wider community in our centre and our students as much as possible.
