Exclusion of some people from full-fledged production processes due to their age and disability; insufficient tools for effective revalidation; lack of activities organised for discriminated and excluded groups.

The innovation involves the use of a resource guide, which provides guidance on how to adapt a ceramics workshop for rehabilitation and full participation in the design process, and on the values of the preparation for the work itself. The material focuses on activities such as imprinting, bonding or fragmentation, among others, and the authors explain the particular therapeutic qualities of these activities. The guide thus facilitates the execution of the ceramic workshops.
