Erasmus + "The value of facing school: the inclusion of youth with neuromuscular diseases, muscular dystrophies and other rare diseases in education
As part of its mission to raise awareness of rare diseases on a European scale, the Foundation took part in the Erasmus + program "The value of facing school: the inclusion of youth with neuromuscular diseases, muscular dystrophies and other rare diseases in education" coordinated by the Fundación Isabel Gemio in 2022.
The main objective of this program is to create a cooperation of the institutions involved with the aim of changing the teaching methods to improve the care and integration at school of students with muscular dystrophies and, more generally, with a rare disease.
In this context, the Foundation is in charge of coordinating the PR2 "Facing muscular dystrophies and other rare diseases in school" which aims to provide content and exercises for teachers, parents and school children.
