Report on the visit to Lublin of a delegation from Brest within the framework of the Lamannebarriau project
The host party (Lublin Forum of Disabled Organizations) developed a program of stay in advance, which was adjusted taking into account the requests and wishes of the participants. For example, the form of classes with a psychologist was changed from tedious conversations, which some participants did not perceive, to games, and this made it possible to unite the group.
Living conditions were thought out taking into account the characteristics of diseases and taking into account a long period of stay, and this created a good psychological mood in the group from the first days. For some participants, this was a necessary condition, since, for example, Mikhail Gunosov and Pavel Dmitruk had never previously left home for such a period of time without their parents.
The most informative and useful was the visit to the therapy clinics in Świdnik.

Vika Zakharova and Olya Tarasova were trained in a plastics workshop. Over the course of 5 days, the girls mastered making holiday cards using the batik technique, and also learned how to make souvenirs from available household items: polystyrene foam and pasta. The skills acquired turned out to be useful for the development of creativity, and can also have practical application especially for Vika Zakharova since she is currently not working.
