Staffansgården

Delsbo, Sweden

Beschreibung der Tätigkeit

Staffansgården is part of the international Camphill Movement and is situated in the small village Delsbo. It consists of a village where about 30 adults with different mental disabilities are living together in smaller units, each in their own, self-contained, flat. The aim of Staffansgården is to give adults with mental disabilities support in their daily life. With the help of employed staff, our villagers, live and work in four different places. Being part of the project is a unique chance to understand and learn about anthroposophic methods of creating developing and enriching activities for mentally challenged people. There are several daytime activities and some of the villagers work with things such as gardening, farming and in different art workshops, in a bakery, weavery and carpentry/wood workshop. They have also access to several forms of therapy. There are about 80 employees at Staffansgården.
