Inclusive Workshops

Where Inclusion Becomes an Experience

Where Creativity Meets Inclusion

Shalva’s inclusive workshops invite participants to create side by side with adults with disabilities from our vocational programs. It is a fun experience that brings the power of genuine inclusion to life.

Through a variety of artistic techniques, participants learn, create, and connect, working together in an atmosphere of openness, respect, and equality. These workshops are far more than a creative activity; they offer a meaningful human encounter, enabling direct connection with people of diverse abilities and perspectives.

Each workshop is an empowering experience rooted in collaboration and shared purpose. Participants leave not only with a one-of-a-kind item they created with their own hands, but with a lasting sense of connection and inspiration.

In this hands-on wood workshop, participants explore a variety of woodworking techniques, including sanding, painting, and experimenting with screws, while working with natural materials in an inviting and inclusive environment.

Led by Shalva’s adults with disabilities in the Vocational Training Program, the workshop is both creative and deeply human. It offers space for connection, collaboration, and shared purpose, making it far more than a creative activity. Participants leave with a handcrafted keepsake and an experience that continues to resonate long after the workshop ends

DuBido Bear Workshop

Shalva’s DuBido Bear Workshop is a heartwarming and meaningful creative experience.
