TANGO-LIFE

TANGO-LIFE je evropski Erasmus+ športni projekt, katerega cilj je izboljšati kakovost življenja in socialno vključenost 60 oseb z intelektualnimi ovirami, duševnimi motnjami in drugimi ranljivostmi. S pomočjo plesa – posebej argentinskega tanga – projekt spodbuja telesno, čustveno in družbeno dobrobit. TANGO-LIFE uresničuje šport kot orodje za zdravje, rehabilitacijo in osebnostno rast ter naslavlja evropske prednostne naloge s področij socialne vključenosti, zdravja in aktivnega življenja.

Projekt temelji na inovativnem modelu vključevanja, ki bo razvit skozi:
✔️ oblikovanje pilotnega programa usposabljanja,
✔️ pripravo personaliziranih načrtov pomoči,
✔️ izvedbo plesno-športnih delavnic,
✔️ preizkus modela v treh državah (Italija, Španija, Slovenija),
✔️ promocijo in širjenje rezultatov s pomočjo dogodkov in digitalnih platform.

Vloga Društva za kulturo inkluzije

Društvo za kulturo inkluzije iz Slovenije je eden partnerjev v projektu. Naše naloge vključujejo:

• razvoj in izvajanje prilagojenih športno-plesnih programov za otroke, mladostnike in odrasle s posebnimi potrebami,
• pripravo individualiziranih intervencijskih načrtov,
• koordinacijo vključevanja slovenskih udeležencev,
• testiranje modela v Sloveniji in sodelovanje pri evalvaciji,
• prispevek k razvoju končnega orodja za vpeljavo tangoterapije kot inovativne oblike rehabilitacije in socialne vključenosti.

Skozi projekt bomo krepili tudi sodelovanje med plesnimi strokovnjaki in organizacijami s področja socialnega vključevanja.

Projekt TANGO-LIFE sofinancira program Erasmus+ v okviru razpisa “Small Scale Partnership – Erasmus Sport 2024”. Koordinator projekta je italijanska organizacija Maendeleo for Children, projekt pa vključuje tudi partnerje iz Italije in Španije.

Project TANGO-LIFE: Tango as a Path to Well-Being and Inclusion

TANGO-LIFE is a European Erasmus+ Sport project aiming to enhance the quality of life and social inclusion of 60 individuals with intellectual disabilities, mental health conditions, and other vulnerabilities. Through dance – specifically Argentine tango – the project promotes physical, emotional, and social well-being. TANGO-LIFE recognizes sport as a tool for health, rehabilitation, and personal development, while addressing European priorities in the fields of social inclusion, health, and active living.

The project is built on an innovative model of inclusion, developed through:
✔️ the creation of a pilot training program,
✔️ the preparation of personalized support plans,
✔️ the implementation of dance-sport workshops,
✔️ the testing of the model in three countries (Italy, Spain, Slovenia),
✔️ the promotion and dissemination of results through events and digital platforms.

The Role of the Association of  Inclusive Culture

The Association for Inclusive Culture from Slovenia is one of the partners in the project. Our responsibilities include:

• developing and implementing adapted sport-dance programs for children, adolescents, and adults with special needs,
• preparing individualized intervention plans,
• coordinating the participation of Slovenian beneficiaries,
• testing the model in Slovenia and contributing to evaluation,
• contributing to the development of a final tool for introducing tango therapy as an innovative form of rehabilitation and social inclusion.

Through the project, we will also strengthen cooperation between dance professionals and organizations in the field of social inclusion.

The TANGO-LIFE project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ program under the “Small Scale Partnership – Erasmus Sport 2024” call. The project is coordinated by the Italian organization Maendeleo for Children, and includes partners from Italy and Spain.
