We encouraged a linguistic and cultural
exchange with the Volunteers during the
Camp and, then, throughmessages on the social network, sharing photos
about the most interestinglandscapes
We created an on-line community that extended
the existing integrationbetween disabled people
and young Europeanvolunteers
Using digital interfaces, a metaemotional lab, theylearned how to recognisetheir own emotions in a controlled environment , such as in a protected
social network.
We created a multimedia lab where boys were notonly the final users, but
the actual maincharacters. They wereable to create contents, uploading photos and
videos to keep sharingemotion with their
international friends.
Sharing contents on the net with the foreigner volunteers of the International SCI CAMP (Service Civil International) created a
great friendship, an emotional exchange which positivelyinfluenced on young disabled people, and the creation of a really
European network, even on Facebook in Italian, English (and Spanish.
Activities realized with the cooperation of Social LAB No
