An European project coordinated by Psico Ballet Maite León Foundation (Spain) in collaboration with DanÇando com a DiferenÇa Association (Portugal) financed by the European Social Fund and ONCE Foundation, within the Operations Program for the Development of Transnational Cooperation Initiatives that Promote Equal Opportunities and the Social and Labor Inclusion of People with Disabilities, within the framework of the Poises 2014-2020 Operational Program – axis 7.
