The project assumes creating a theatrical play. Its authors and performers will be children, who come from various groups and backgrounds (from Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic), mainly disabled children, their siblings and peers without developmental problems.
Compounding the elements of artetherapy, mainly of dramatherapy with education through tourism, sport activities, touring trips, studying of customs and cultures of our partners counries, integration of varied groups ( in regard to country of origin, physicall and mental sufficiency). Involvement of young people in voluntary services, protection of week people, cooperating in very varied groups.
As a part of our project we will create two theatrical festivals, which we want to continue also after finishing of the project: The Theatrical Festival „NASZ ŚWIAT” (“Our world”) held in Białystok and The International Theatrical Festival „Urobme si radost” in Bratysława. Our website will be also a great educational and promotional material. From other materials collected during the project we will put out the booklet about our affairs, and also the CD and the film.
In the shool year we plan regular meetings (once a week) on integrating activities, a trip to a professional theatre, meetings with actors and other children's theatrical groups. The workshops will last half a year and will prepare the children for ten – day summer workshops, which are planned to take place in the 2nd half of August. They will take a form of a therapeutic integration camp.
Summer art workshops will include classes of fine arts, music and theatre. The works will be run on three levels. During theatre workshops, children with some stage of disability will prepare a scenario and actors' tasks. Scenography will be created on fine arts workshops. Music will be composed and arranged by the children as well. The children will be the main actors and authors of the scenario, scenography and music.
We hope to present the final result – the theatrical spectacle – to the widest audience possible, also on Polish and foreign competitions and festivals of the disabled people.
The cyclical theatre workshops, which are to be held in our partner's countries, preparation to the summer workshops as well as creating the spectacle will be advertised in all mass – media: press, radio, TV, on Internet portals, and on billboards in public places.
Presenting their own artistic achievements as well as taking part in artistic activities in general develops self–esteem and satisfaction in children. Thanks to it, children “win” everything: understanding each other, bond with the healthy peers, change of the image in the social perception, getting out of isolation, and vivid, full life. The parents, observing the progress in the development of their disabled children, start to hope for their valuable, dignified life. The parents of other disabled children get convinced that their children as well can achieve something, can offer much to society and that disability does not have to mean resignation. On the contrary, it can give impulse to new, more intense and innovative forms of self – realisation.
Cooperation (on volunteer services basis) with the Association For Supporting the Activity of the Mentally Disabled THE ACTIVE ONES, the creator of the Sunny Theatre, which consists of disabled children at the age of 7-13.

In cooperation with The PdiMST – JEDEN ŚWIAT Association we want to create a theatrical group as a part of the cultural project. Our participants – healthy people, will be helping other participants – the disabled people. As a part of our project, we want to practise Polish language too. One of our goals is also to present our partners from Poland with Slovak language. We are going to participate together in summer theatrical workshops, in order to create a theatrical play. We will be showing it on theatrical festivals, for both, healthy and disabled people. Our yong people don't have a contact with disabled people, so such trip would be a great lesson of integration for them. Furthermore, the cooperation with partners from Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic would break the cultural borders between these nations.
Theatrical, plastic and musical cooperation will be beneficial for every party of this project. The project will be continued also after its ending. From now summer theatrical workshops will be in our activity forever. We will be improving our skills and making them better and better. Our participants come from indigent families, so that we are still searching for varied ways of refinancing. International Visegrad Fund gives us possibility to realize our goals – to find the proper way of integrating our counties and healthy people with disabled one's. Such activity is a great impulse to develop each of groups taking part in the project. It can also help us in liquidating boundaries existing between participants. We will create a permanent product too – the theatrical play. Performances on the stage are profitable for groups participating in the project.

Association of Down syndrome in Slovak Republic and yournal Slnečnica organized the festival „Can we have a joy for us!“ in January 2006 in Bratislava and thereby created and defined the condition for international cooperation in the field of production of children with mental handicap. On festival took a part children and youngsters from SR, CR, Poland and Lithuania with their scenic performances, pictures and literature. As a continuing of this festival, we would like to introduce and establish common project: summer workshop, which can be result into theatre art and musical performance. Because a participation of siblings and families on summer workshop is welcomed, this activity also supports inclusion of children with Down syndrome and other mental disorders into the community life.
An outcome of such common workshop can be a second international festival of art of children with handicap in the year 2007.
