approach the work of raising social awareness and generating proposals that will break the beliefs, myths and prejudices in relation to disability, which are the barriers that make integration and sustain downturns. Among these proposals is "Challenge your beliefs" .
This is annoying and uncomfortable questions relating to disability that we have been hearing, some with some insistence, in our workshops for young people. We take these questions and begin to do. We could see they were annoying, but what bothered there seemed to be the fact that it is asked. That is, does not seem to bother giving a possible answer to the question but the fact that this is valid as a question. An example: in the workshops asked "are good people with mental disabilities?". It's a trick question because it is certainly impossible to generalize this, but there is something of a belief that there is played ... The question in this case questions, put to discussion something that supposedly should not be discussed.
This, at best, mobilizes and generates some concern towards the issue. With this question, and this discomfort, in an appropriate context for discussion and reflection, it can raise awareness of the social problems of the integration of persons with disabilities. It is for this very reason we believe that such proposals are, in principle, more effective to give a lecture on the subject. Because we have seen that there is a preliminary step to do, fundamental and irreplaceable, and this is to move what was once thought to and "put the issue on the table" for open thinking and the outlook for social integration.
