New Ways to Work
Penny Nowell and Chris Sleight from our Dumfries and Galloway projects recently visited our European partners in Italy (in Naples and Bari) in the week 11th - 18th November. We have joined with partners in Italy (La Magnolia and Tecnopolis), Austria (Vienna- BFZ) and Germany (Paderborn - Kolping Bildingswerk) to look at approaches to helping people with mental health problems in regard to vocational training and employment opportunities.
The visit followed a joint meeting in Edinburgh in June which the established the basis for working together. Penny and Chris visited a project working with women in Naples and then, ,with our Austria and German partners, went on to Bari where they had several meetings with and visits to local mental health services and social enterprises. They also worked on plans for future development.
