MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Visual Thinking 4 You(th) project, has the general objective of promoting the social inclusion of dyslexic young people between 13 and 19 years old, through visual thinking, which consists in transmitting and exposing ideas through simple and easily recognizable images.
The objective of this method is to improve the learning level of the learner by allowing him, through the use of images, to better understand ideas, define objectives, identify problems and generate new concepts and it is particularly effective for those who have cognitive peculiarities such as dyslexic people.
In this context, the socio-educational animator, a figure targeted by the project activities, proves to be a key element for the involvement of these young people.
