Adults Childhood Adolescence and youth Disability Family services Pointed village Who is it for? People with disabilities Client Municipality of Pistoia Duration Annual Responsible Elisabetta Petrini The Punta Village is a project born in 1999 for the management of free time, is aimed at people with disabilities and is funded annually by the Municipality of Pistoia. Its main purpose is to promote socialization and integration with the territory, paying particular attention to the acquisition of new skills by the participants. Over the course of the year, the offer of the project diversifies, meeting the needs of families and linking up with other activities that are aimed at the same users in the area. Since 2013, two groups have been set up: the Village a Punta Adults and the Village a Punta Piccoli, in which young adults aged between 18 and 50 and school-aged children between 6 and 18 participate respectively. The main activity takes place in the La Fabbrica delle Emozioni headquarters, but trips, short outings and stays away from home are also frequent. The activities that have certainly, over the years, been more successful, especially for the group of adults, were the 5-day stays at the beach in summer and those of 2 during the Christmas holidays at the spa or city of art. During these occasions, children have the opportunity to experience moments of complete autonomy, away from the family but with the help of educators, they have the opportunity to deal with the so-called world of the "able-bodied" by attending common places and structures so that parents they are relieved of the family burden even for a few days. Another feature of the project, especially for the group of children, is the particular attention to the needs and abilities of the children in proposing and choosing the activities to do. During the summer, the activities that are proposed vary according to age and are even more dedicated to outings in the area, to the swimming pool ... in short, to all those more purely fun and socializing activities.
