A unique center
where learning, rehabilitation, and community go hand in hand
In the heart of Agadir’s bustling city life lies a center that makes a tangible difference every day for children and young people with special needs. Here, education, rehabilitation, and social support come together in a safe environment where both students and Praktikrejsen participants grow side by side. The center is known for its warm atmosphere, strong professionalism, and deeply committed staff—and for being a place where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Different children – one shared learning space
The center serves children and adolescents aged approximately six to fifteen who face various challenges. These may include developmental disorders such as autism, physical disabilities, or learning difficulties. The educational approach is based on viewing each child as unique—while at the same time fostering a strong and supportive community.
Kaz, one of the employees, explains it this way:
“We work with students who have various types of disabilities, including developmental disorders, physical disabilities, and learning disabilities.”
In Classroom One, you’ll find both structure and flexibility. Here, we create an environment where everyone can participate on their own terms—without being isolated from the community.
A mix of academic, physical, and creative activities
The curriculum combines traditional subjects with practical and creative exercises. Students work on reading, writing, and core subjects, as well as craft activities, coloring, and workshop activities that stimulate the senses, motor skills, and concentration.
Kaz describes it this way:
“The program includes reading, writing, sensory and motor skills, as well as workshop activities.”
The overall goal is not only learning in the traditional sense—but also to equip students with skills they can use in their daily lives and, in the long term, as adults.
The center also offers activities that introduce children to practical skills such as cooking and hairdressing, so they can play a natural role in their local communities and become more self-reliant.
Independence as a key skill
A significant part of the instruction focuses on strengthening the students’ personal and practical skills. Many of them are on the cusp of childhood and adolescence and need support to navigate daily life and social situations.
Kaz emphasizes this himself:
“We place a strong emphasis on fostering students’ independence—especially among teenagers who are more interested in practical or hands-on activities.”
That is why the team develops both individual and group lesson plans. This ensures that every child receives the targeted support they need—without losing the energy and sense of security that comes from being part of the class community.
A learning environment that also helps develop the participants in the internship program
The center in Agadir also serves as a unique learning environment for participants in Praktikrejsen. Here, students of physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, and psychology have the opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary setting and put theory into practice.
They will become an integral part of daily life alongside the center’s staff and gain insight into how education and rehabilitation can be integrated into the work with children with special needs.
As Kaz says:
“As you’ve seen, there are big differences among the students—and that’s exactly what makes our class unique.”
The center is a living example of how diversity can be a strength—and how a holistic learning environment can foster growth, joy, and hope in children and young people.
Located in the heart of Agadir is a center that supports children and young people with various disabilities through education, rehabilitation, and creative activities. Here, the students find a welcoming environment, structure, and individualized support—and the participants from Praktikrejsen valuable experience in the healthcare field.
