DEEP IS STARTED
Dear all,
The DEEP project (Disability and professional Empowerment Engaging 3d Printing) is started!
Deep is a project funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ program
“Cooperation Partnerships in Vocational Education and Training” (KA220-VET). Deep involves 5
partners from four EU countries: Italy (Villa delle Magnolie Clinic and HUB spa), Spain
(Autonomous University of Barcelona), Czech Republic (Hertin Training Center) and
Luxembourg (Technoport SA).
The general objective of the DEEP project is to create an innovative training model that aims
to bring the world of disability closer to that of 3D printing.
The specific objectives of DEEP are to:
• Develop skills in the field of 3D prototyping;
• Bring the world of social and health care to the potential of the use of 3D printing in the
world of disability;
• Make makers acquire and increase in social and health professionals, relational and
pro-social skills essential to work with people with disabilities;
• Achieve the description of units of learning outcomes assessable and, therefore,
usable in the description and evaluation of professional profiles.
The main activities of the project are:
• Creation of the DEEP training model including State of the Art, training package
addressed to the direct target, guidelines for cooperation with people with disabilities,
definition of criteria for the selection of the direct target;
• Implementation of a training course including trainer training for partnership
professionals and a pilot training course of the multi-actor target audience (health
professionals, occupational therapists, makers);
• Field Implementation that will involve people with disabilities and the various
professionals trained in order to make prototypes through the use of 3D printer;
• Networking, monitoring and dissemination of results.
The expected outcomes of the project are divided according to DEEP’s direct and indirect
target.
Reference to direct target (health care professionals, occupational therapists, makers) we
expect:
• Increased knowledge on the topic of disability;
• Increased knowledge and skills in 3D prototyping;
• Increased knowledge of the world of aids and regulatory frameworks of reference;
• Increased of pro-social and motivational skills of professionals as a mode of approach
in dealing with people with disabilities.
In relation to the indirect target (people with disabilities), we expect:
• Increased sense of self-efficacy through active participation in the design and
creation of the aids;
• Increased motivation to fully partecipate to the paths and treatments that best meet
their needs;
• Acquisition of basic knowledge and skills with respect to the use of the 3D printer.
In terms of impact on the direct target, a 20% increase in the number of professionals
interested in the proposed training is expected compared to the project’s baseline of 160
professionals.
In terms of indirect target, we expect the involvement of more than 1000 subjects by the
participating institutions in the 4 countries.

Deep Handbook is
on- line
Dear all,
Regarding the DEEP (Disability and professional Empowerment Engaging 3d Printing) projectfunded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ program “Cooperation Partnerships in Vocational Education and Training” (KA220-VET) involving 5 partners from four EU countries,
we would like to inform you that the training of trainers has been completed.
In order to bring the world of disability to the world of 3D printing, 18 expert trainers participated in the training of trainers, held in Italy, with the aim of developing the training
model to later implement pilot courses in partner Countries.
We also hereby take this opportunity to inform you of the publication of the DEEP handbook, in the different partner languages, on the official project website.

Training Course in Villa delle Magnolie
Dear all,
Regarding the project DEEP (Disability and professional Empowerment Engaging 3d
Printing) funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ program.
Cooperation Partnerships in Vocational Education and Training" (KA220-VET) which involves 5 partners from four European Union countries, we would like to inform you that the pilot
training course, for healthcare professionals and makers, will start on 17/04/2023 at the Villa delle Magnolie clinic.
This training aims to facilitate the transfer of knowledge to professionals in the world of healthcare and that of 3D printing, but also to encourage the creation of a community of professionals able to implement the methodology and vision of co-design: two different and seemingly distant realities that together, however, can contribute, in an innovative way and with new collaborative processes, in the
field of care and support of people with disabilities.
The training course will be held at the Villa delle Magnolie clinic and will include 6 meetings in which the following topics will be addressed through a participatory methodology:
– Disability and the bio-psycho-social model;
– Benefits of technology in the world of disability;
– Prosocial Model;
– Transtheoretical Model and the motivation for change;
– The use of 3D printing in the world of disability.
The ECM-accredited course is free and open to all health professionals, nurses, social and health workers, makers and residents.
For more information and/or to participate in the course, write to cvmagnolie@gmail.com
