Con il sostegno dell’Otto per Mille della Chiesa Valdese, il progetto “L’amore ha bisogno di spazio 2.0” ha previsto due appuntamenti formativi in presenza. Uno si è svolto da sabato 19 a domenica 20 ottobre a Genova; il secondo è in programma a novembre a Torino. Al primo hanno partecipato 21 operatori di otto associazioni, arrivati dal Nord, dal Centro e dal Sud Italia. Il percorso promosso da CoorDown coinvolge giovani adulti, famiglie e operatori, per costruire strumenti e proposte educative che rispettino i bisogni, le aspirazioni e l’autodeterminazione di ogni persona con sindrome di Down. L’obiettivo è di favorire il benessere, l’autonomia e il diritto a vivere pienamente e consapevolmente la propria dimensione affettiva e sessuale. “L’amore ha bisogno di spazio 2.0” è iniziato il 1° febbraio 2026 e attivo fino a gennaio 2027.
