Training and Resources Center

In 2001 Karin Dom was invited by the European Commission to a Conference in Brussels, to make a presentation as one of the six European best practices and was encouraged to develop as a Training and Resource Centre.
 
To disseminate good practice, we run a training programme, tailored to the needs of the trainees: professionals, working at daycare centres and residential institutions for children with disabilities from all over the country; parents; volunteers; university students; social assistants.

The training modules are held by both Karin Dom team and foreign specialists and include:
