It is the aim of the SETU training courses to teach its participants basic skills and knowledge within three months, in order to achieve the ability to professionally help, support and accompany people with needs.

The course is divided in four modules:

Seminars for URCC staff members

In the past two years 14 URRC staff members have successfully passed the SETU training. Additionallly, regular meetings on different work topics have taken place. With our former SETU course participants we are currently further establishing and improving the crafting of different products in the SETU educational classes (tailoring, metalworks, joinery, bakery and training classes I and II).

On the one hand we plan to sell more of our own products, on the other hand our students will thereby be taught to become more self-relying and independent.

The SETU department is going to offer open workshop days for different target groups next year, like parents and relatives, pastors, teachers, nurses, women´s groups etc. 
The focus will be on different disabilities, their causes, symptoms, treatment and training possibilities, e.g. for Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), Hydrocephaly, Microcephaly, Epilepsy, Cerebral Paresis, Behavioral Disorders as well as support and training of daily life skills.
