SUVOT project is a 3-years European initiative funded by the European Commission through the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). It aims to establish a methodology of experiential learning to enable people suffering from mental illness, learning disabilities or/and behavioural disorders to acquire skills in order to facilitate them finding a job. The innovative aspect of the project lies in the simulation methodology based in sociodrama that will be used during the vocational training. Through SUVOT, vocational training in cooking will be offered to people with mental illness taking into account their special needs.

WHY SUVOT?
SUVOT project arises from the need to end the social stigma attached to mental illness that makes difficult the incorporation of this target group in the labour market. Vocational training is the first step to ensure equal opportunities and to increase the possibilities of people with mental illness to find a job.
