People with mental disabilities are one of the population groups with the lowest quality of life. As a result of significantly reduced intellectual abilities, they have problems not only in perception, understanding and learning, but also in adaptive behavior (social and practical skills of everyday life). Project This and That is an innovative model of working integration of people with intellectual disabilities - "the sketchers" in order to turn their artistic hobby (drawing, graphics) into work and offer an alternative to a sheltered workshop. The idea is to make This and That innovative, financially self-sufficient and sustainable model of work inclusion that would also inspire other organizations working with people with intellectual disabilities. The aim of phase III is to complement the team with other graphic designers, illustrators and designers and, in addition to creating their own products, to carry out custom production for companies. Other activitities include: 1. Continuation of preparing adepts for the drawing position, 2. Create a business strategy based on the collected data, 3. Enter the Czech and German markets and to increase the number of partner stores. The project is a continuation of a successful project implemented in the 1st and 2nd calls, while moving up at both qualitative and quantitative level. This and That becomes a well-known brand with a long-term sustainability perspective.
