PEDAGOGICAL ASPECTS OF INTRODUCING THE GREEN PROGRAM INTO WORKING WITH PERSONS WITH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DISABILITIES

Diplomska naloga obravnava problematiko izobraževanja odraslih oseb z motnjo v duševnem in telesnem razvoju. Vseživljenjsko učenje je nujno za te osebe, saj tako ohranjajo že pridobljeno znanje in spoznavajo nove vsebine, ki jim pomagajo h kvalitetnejšemu življenju. Danes se odnos do oseb s motnjami v duševnem in telesnem razvoju spreminja tako, da so vedno bolj vključene v normalno življenje, ni pa bilo vedno tako. V Varstveno delovnem centru Polž si prizadevamo ponuditi uporabnikom kakovostno storitev in jim poleg različnih dejavnosti nudimo tudi vključitev v Zeleni program, kjer uporabniki spoznavajo delo na vrtu. V empiričnem delu naloge je predstavljen projekt Zelenega programa in uspešnost uporabnikov pri projektu.Thesis deals with the problem of adult education of people with disabillities in mental and physical development. Lifelong learning is essential for these persons, as this is the way to retain already acquired knowledge and learn new content, which helps improve their quality of life. Today, the attitude towards persons with disabilities in mental and physical development is changing so that they are becoming more and more involved in normal life, but this was not always the case. In Occupational activity centre Polž, we strive to offer users quality service and in addition to various activities we also offer the inclusion in the Green programme where users learn to work in the garden. Project Green programme and performance of the users in the project is presented in empirical part of the thesis
