Our training
programmes
Over the past years, we have run over 100 training
programmes to train staff from Romanian institutions and other charities
in our methods.
We have been very fortunate in the specialist practitioners
from the following organizations who have helped in our own training
and in contributing to our training courses:
Action Space Mobile
Muzika Charitable Trust
Music as Therapy
If you would like to find out more about our training
programmes and our training schedule in Romania, please contact
us.
We feel this model could
be very useful in other former communist Eastern European countries
where there are similar problem of basic lack of care, stimulation
and neglect in adult and childrens institutions.
We invite enquiries from anyone about how
we could help Impart the model into other countries.

mini film about how our Impart
programme brings life giving art therapy to institutions for the
disabled in Romania
Training Manual
We have published a step-by-step practical guide to
introducing music, art, movement and play programmes into institutions.
It is an attempt to define what we believe to be a
highly appropriate model for intervention.
The manual also explores the background of institutionalization
in Romania, the human rights issues and much more.
If you would like a copy, please contact
us. It is available in Romanian and English.
The Romanian version is free to Romanian applicants.
Copies may also be given for no charge to enquirers
from other countries who are interested in developing this
work in their countries
The English version costs £10 + postage
