WELCOME TO MY WORLD

Welcome To My World is a workshop designed to enable participants to grow in their understanding and awareness of persons with ability differences. The workshop is fourfold: to assess present attitudes, to simulate experiences of various disabling conditions, to dispel myths and misunderstandings, and to call participants to open themselves to the talents and riches of persons with ability differences.

The workshop is adaptable to all age groups and is available through the Diocese of St. Cloud to all its parishes, religious education programs and Catholic schools. Since October, 2001, over 300 students have participated in the program.

Take a visual tour of the program by clicking the title above. For further information or to arrange to have Welcome To My World come to your students contact Sister Chrisann Mortensen at Catholic Education Ministries (320) 251-0111 or .
