In partnership with the Mariahuset Foundation, the Foundation completed the "Amplify the Voice of the Weak - Implementation of Key Standards of Care" thematic project to the purpose of supporting individuals with intelelctual disabilities. A study visit to Norway was organised, allowing closer co-operation and further experience exchange. Foundation representatives learned about Norwegian solutions in the field of de-institutionalising social assistance, and optimum methods of supporting individuals with intellecual disabilities. They were also told about the how the Mariahuset Foundation operates so-called sheltered homes for their clients. Study visit participants described the Norwegian experience in a report submitted to four branches of the Foundation and to the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy.
