"Live
a vocational guidance experience within a safe
and secured environment" is
one of the objectives of the Work, Studies or Volunteering Integration Program. This
program offers psycho-educational workshops
focusing on acquiring multiple skills, cognitive
and interpersonal, aiming at developing, to
the maximum, the
potential of each participant in regard to professional integration which also
included a training (stage) at the City of Pierrefonds (public library and
civil engineering) and at the West Island Emergency
Funds. Trainings (stages) are used
to implement, in a practical way, the newly acquired skills of the psycho-educational
workshops. They are also viewed as the corner stone of the program since it
allows us to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each individual who is
immersed in a context similar to employment
The
theater workshop and theatrical production
will be helpful to the participants in terms
of introspection, of being attentive to one
and
other, verbalizing
and expressing emotions, developing spirit and teamwork; the achievement
and presentation of a theatrical project will
greatly help enhance their feeling
of pride and recognition. This "theater" component will also serve
as valve and help release the tensions generated by this program, which requires
a great deal of commitment and energy. |
