\"\"<\/p>\n

The Za’atari refugee camp in northern Jordan is one of the largest refugee camps in the world. Currently shelters about 80,000 people from Syria, fleeing the war that began in the country in 2011.<\/p>\n

\"\"In the most vulnerable situation are refugees with disabilities, representing 15% of the total. Many of them are due to the devastating effect of armed conflict; they present a high number of amputations.<\/p>\n

The marginalization to which people with disabilities face in society is accentuated even more in circumstances of humanitarian crises. Educational and recreational activities or services and supplies needed become inaccessible.<\/p>\n

\"\"To help improve the quality of life of these people, the FPSC has established a physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic, where it primarily serves children with cerebral palsy, providing medical care and \/ or mobility aids.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the promotion of the role of people with disabilities in society is a key element to guarantee their rights and protect their dignity.<\/p>\n

\"\"In addition to awareness sessions, a means to achieve it, has been the implementation of an activity of inclusive theatre <\/strong>to address marginalization, bullying, self exclusion and isolation of people with disabilities; changing attitudes of society about the importance of inclusion, participation and empowerment of each person; and spread the idea of the important role that each person can play in society.<\/p>\n

The aim is to support children in their creative and social development; teaching new creative skills in theatre, music and art; and developing their ability to interact, communicate, work in teams and take an active role in supporting and including everyone else in the group.<\/p>\n

In addition, it is a means to achieve integration, improve self-esteem and ensure equal opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
