3. dan seminara „Digitalni alati za učenike s posebnim potrebama“
Danas je planirano putovanje u Assisi i drugačiji sadržaj u odnosu na protekla dva dana.
Assisi je grad u pokrajini Perugia, u regiji Umbrija pod zaštitom UNESCO-a. U njemu je rođen Sveti Franjo Asiški koji je pokušao reformirati Crkvu i osnovao franjevački red. Grad je poznat i kao hodočasničko mjesto, a najpoznatija je Bazilika Svetog Franje Asiškog.

Naime, Udruga „Atlas Centar“ uključila se u europski projekt integracije izbjeglica u društvo, budući da ih veliki broj boravi u Italiji. Jedna grupa izbjeglica iz Gane, Ugande i Nigerije smještena je u Assisi-ju. Ne govore i ne razumiju talijanski niti engleski jezik pa se koriste neverbalne metode rada kojima izražavaju svoju kulturu: sviranje na afričkom bubnju i tehnika kolaža.
Udruga okuplja izbjeglice u velikoj dvorani crkve koja je izbjeglice smjestila u svoj prostor, a talijanska vlada nastoji osigurati uvjete za život (materijalnu egzistenciju, učenje jezika, pohađanje škole, terapiju, posao...).
Ne žele se fotografirati i pomalo su depresivni zbog sporog ostvarivanja ciljeva zbog kojih su došli u Europu.
Nakon rada s grupom izbjeglica članovi Udruge tradicionalno odlaze na čašu vina kako bi se i sami opustili nakon rada koji emocionalno angažira.
Osim rada s izbjeglicama planirana je terapija pacijentice s dijagnozom „tuberous sclerosis“ (tuberozna skleroza), ali je majka otkazala dolazak.

3rd day of course „Digital Tools for Students with Special Needs“
Today's schedule was of a different content in comparison to the first two days. It included a one day trip to Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis of Assisi, who initiated a reform of the Church and was a founder of the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208. The Basilica of St. Francis (San Francesco) in Assisi has been put under the protection of the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in the year 2000. It is one of the famous emblems of Christianity.
Association Centro Atlas is taking part in the European project the purpose of which is to integrate refugees into the society, since quite a big number of them are residing in Italy. The group that was assigned to us was mainly consisted of refugees from Ghana, Uganda and Nigeria. They cannot speak neither English nor Italian language, so in order to help them to express their culture and tradition the team provided non-verbal methods of expression: African drums and different collage techniques. The Centro Atlas organizes workshops for them in the big hall of the Assisi church which, also, provides accommodation for them. Italian government tries to ensure and improve living conditions for them (elementary existential needs, learning of the language, attending the school, access to therapy, assistance with the job search...)
They don't like to be photographed due to their depressive mood, which is the result of very slow realization of expectation and aims that brought them to Europe.
After the close encounter and the work with the group of refugees, the members of the Centro Atlas usually take a break having a glass of wine for relaxation, because their work is emotionally exhausting.
The therapy of the patient with the diagnosis „tuberous sclerosis“, already scheduled the same day, was cancelled because the mother of the patient cancelled the arrival.
