Outdoor therapeutic games

It was a surprise.
We do climbing at school, but we didn´t know dome of the things we do are therapeutic gams. So here you are:

Rope Games - this is easy, you need just a rope and you can do it even in a classroom. We did in on the grass while waiting for climbing. It was fun.


Snow Blindness - we did that on the wall and the new ones on the ground. It was more difficult than it looked. The worst was not to start arguing with your partner.

Love Peace and understanding

During the autumn we´ve been working to Creat Peace at school, with our friends at school, in our classes and in our familys. We´ve lessons at school at least one hour/week working with different questions and we get homeworks to try the different things we discuss. Together with the whole school we´ve been seeing some performances with actors who works with this subjects.

We met Eric Donell, an actor with diagnosis NPF, and he let us get an insight into his upbringing and the benefits his NPF has given him in life. Thanks to his NPF, he has got to try on many professions, actor, broker, lecturer, businessman and a singer. HE has been in the Swedish drama series "Friends and Enemies" in 650 episodes frpm 1996-1999. He has played the lead part in the film "Outside ypur door", a romantic drama dealing with Tourettes Syndrome, that won film price for best youth film in Sweden 2003.

Adterwards we had discussions at school about his life and his ability to give hope and courage.


We´ve also met the theater group with the strange name "Young without Pouch".

"Some of us already know at the age of 5 that we are different. We fight on as heck to fit in, be like everyone else and not feel guilt or shame that we feel differently. Disturbed, slightly crazy or a little ADHD. Yes, dear child has many names.

Mental illness is one of our fastest growing social problems and falls farther and farther down the ages. What consequences will be for a student and all around when the student climbing the walls or breaking every conceivable social codes?

In the show "Now it was recorded"! mixed comic situations and tragic misunderstanding in a drastic and entertaining way. Based on the concept of inclusion, we take the audience on a journey into a world where the expression "You can jump up and put you on the" actually means that you should jump up and sit on something. To feel different is one thing, to be treated differently to another, not to fit in a third".

We saw the performance with mixed feelings. The actors were using irony and sarcasm to describe and explain that different is not necessarily wrong. But we felt it was wrong, we thought they made the students at our school laugh at us and think we are strange. We tried to discuss this with the actors after but they would not listen. They told us to work with some questions at school. which we already had, and that their play was okey because one of the actors had asperger. We left the play with a very bad feeling. This was not a good way to make peace and understanding.
