What the workshop highlighted

Key focus areas
  • Autonomy as a gradual, structured pathway
  • Planning for independence through clear steps and routines

Transfer into local practice

A dedicated part of the workshop was devoted to discussing how PASSI methodologies can be transferred into local practice. Participants reflected on the importance of intentional goal-setting, interdisciplinary cooperation, and empowering young people by allowing space for choice, responsibility, and self-reflection.
