PORTUGAL - DISABILITY DAY 2014

  • There were many activities to celebrate this day, namely a Yoga Laughter session. People who laugh together wrok together! Laughter is a very powerful emotion and it can be used as a powerful tool to bring people together and work as a team.Laughter Yoga is a unique method that helps to release physical, mental and emotional stress in a positive way and at the same time it helps people feel better quickly. It is a programme of breaths and purely physical play. So, anyone can do it, regardless of their physical condition or gender. A good way to deal with the setbacks of the day-to-day is LAUGH. Because laugh for no reason leads us to live the here and now, where guilt, resentment, anger, frustration, depression and anxiety no longer make sense. Laughter is a natural and spontaneous feature of the human being and is part of our essence. Through laughter therapy we can free the infinite potential of each person, discover his/ her sense of humor and celebrate life, instead of drowning himself/ herself with the challenges that life presents us. 

    Students watched some short films and discuss them in the classrooms. The same films could be watched by all the students in the student' lounge of the main school of Agrupamento de Escolas da Sé - Lamego. There was also an exhibiton.
