First Meeting Of The 3DPrints Project

3D Practice to Raise INclusion with Technological Skills.”

We are excited to officially announce the start of our new project: “3D PRINTS – 3D Practice to Raise INclusion with Technological Skills.”
This project is dedicated to developing skills in the field of 3D prototyping, aiming to bring the socio-health world closer to the potential use of 3D printing in the context of disabilities. Additionally, we seek to enhance relational and empathic skills, ultimately defining evaluative learning outcomes for the description and assessment of professional profiles.
Specific Project Objectives:
Increase Skills:
introduce a new experience on the topic of disability made from a European perspective into one’s curriculum in order to share it in one’s own context.
Increase Networking:
become part of a European network that is strategic and functional for declining the 3D PRINTS model according to the goals set by the project
Consolidate Skills
consolidate the skills of its professionals who in various capacities deal with people with disabilities, update training practices, and improve the quality of its own program activities and services to better meet the needs of people with disabilities and their families.
Involve Everyone:
that is the stakeholders that it will deem appropriate in order to strengthen the network between the world of vocational training and the world of work.
Evaluation Of Profiles:
will activate the procedures to apply for accreditation of the 3D PRINTS training course, in order to recognize the results obtained in terms of learning outcomes.
Solid Support:
it will support inclusion understood as a right based on the full participation of people with disabilities in all areas of life, without discrimination, respecting dignity and valuing human diversity, through appropriate interventions and overcoming obstacles and prejudices.

MDE

MDE operates around the world with its workers funding humanitarian projects. Lately the Movement has been engaged in the construction of wells with a public fountain in a department of Cameroon; in providing various aids to the faculty of Medicine in Antsirànana of Madagascar; and in the reconstruction of wells in the department of Nkongsamba, a district of Cameroon. It is a gigantic work carried out in collaboration with Dehonian groups from Canada, Germany, many Italian and foreign parishes and private individuals. So far 211 villages in the district have drinking water service. Only 30 wells with respective fountains are missing for every village in the district to see assured drinking water service. The Movement has been working with a grant from the CEI-Charitable Office on behalf of Third World countries, which is managed by the Italian bishops, and with various contributions for the construction of more than 50 wells and fountains.
