Description of the organisation:

Queni Allotment was promoted by APSOCECAT with the goal of creating a space to integrate people with deafblindness, promote their visibility and raise awareness among the public.

It is a place aimed at providing opportunities for socialising and interaction with the local environment, a collaborative project to bring together the community and people with sensory disabilities.

The space also hosts volunteers interested in supporting the participants. It also collaborates with gardening schools and local secondary schools for artistic projects, such as decorating walls and other spaces.

Residents are welcome to participate in the scheduled activities and learn first-hand about the experience of living with the loss of the two main senses: seeing and hearing.

Partner organisations:

Pretallers Sant Josep and Tallers Sant Jordi, Col·lectiu d’Artistes de Sants, Biblioteca Vapor Vell, Territoris Oblidats, Xarxa de Suport de Roquetes and Associació DAR.
