How did Hi-Ability come about ?
Very often, social and cultural interventions aimed at the integration of people with disabilities tend to segregate the beneficiaries, as they are provided within protected, "closed" contexts, taking place in a perspective of “assistance" and isolation.
This has negative consequences on the perception of disability towards society and a misreading of the real needs of people with disabilities.
Hi-Ability wants to "open the doors to new spaces of education", promoting an education for autonomy, independent and inclusive life, in a context still not very accessible such as hiking and eco-tourism.
An enviroment where it is possible to equalize the differences and highlight everyone's professional skills
