Neste relatório apresenta-se o projeto de Educação e Intervenção Social
intitulado “Máscaras da (In)Capacidade”, que assentou na metodologia de
Investigação-Ação Participativa. Caracterizando-se pela análise dos contextos,
pela ação, pela reflexão profunda e contínua, e pela avaliação, sempre numa
perspetiva de participação, esta metodologia possibilita ao investigador social
conhecer e envolver-se na realidade de uma maneira muito mais efetiva.
O presente trabalho constitui, assim, um olhar retrospetivo sobre o
trabalho desenvolvido num contexto institucional de acolhimento de pessoas
com deficiência intelectual. O projeto desenvolvido teve como principal
finalidade: “Melhorar as dinâmicas relacionais e de funcionamento existentes
na instituição, de forma a proporcionar um maior bem-estar físico e
psicológico das pessoas que trabalham, vivem e/ou frequentam a instituição”.
Neste sentido, promovendo sempre a participação efetiva de pessoas com
incapacidade e seus cuidadores, procedeu-se à utilização de técnicas que
permitiram conhecer, analisar e trabalhar no contexto, tendo em vista a
concretização dos objetivos gerais do projeto. Esses objetivos, de uma forma
sinóptica, tinham como intenção promover uma melhor interação entre todas
as pessoas do CAO, e melhorar o funcionamento do Centro de Atividades
Ocupacionais (CAO) da Instituição. Assim, procurando sempre uma mudança
construída e refletida por todos, num processo de avaliação contínua, é
possível afirmar que existiu uma melhoria tanto a nível das dinâmicas
relacionais, como ao nível de alguns aspetos relacionados com o
funcionamento da valência
In this report we present an Education and Social Intervention project, entitled "Masks of (Dis)Ability", which was based on the Participatory Action Research methodology. Characterized by the analysis of contexts, action, the profound and continuous reflection, and the evaluation, always in a perspective of participation, this methodology enables the social researcher to get to know and get involved in the reality in a much more effective way. This work is therefore a retrospective look at the work developed in an institutional context that supports persons with intellectual disabilities. The project aims to: "Improve the relational and functioning dynamics of the institution, in order to provide greater physical and psychological well-being of people who work, live and/or attend the institution". In this sense, and aiming to continuously promote the effective participation of persons with disabilities and their caregivers, we used techniques that allowed us to know, analyze and work in the context, bearing in mind the achievement of the project’s general purposes. In a synoptic way, these purposes consisted in promoting and improving better interaction, between all the people that work or attend the Occupational Activity Center (Centro de Atividades Ocupacionais) and improve the functioning of the institution’s CAO. Thus, always working towards a change built and reflected by all, in a continuous improvement process, we can affirm that there was an improvement, both in terms of relational interactions as also in the functioning of the above mentioned valence.
