Ma’arag is a rehabilitation occupational center for over 100 adults with disabilities that participate in a variety of art workshops in the following fields:
Textiles, ceramics, woodworking, laser cutting, basket weaving, multimedia, printing, and more…
The workshops and the café also serve as a training center that simulates actual places of work, to teach participants the skills and provide tools which they need to become part of the “regular” labor force. As a result of their experiences at Ma’arag, individuals gain work experience and learn how to cope with feedback, deal with authority figures and time constraints of their work schedule, gain self-confidence and receive generous amounts of encouragement as they realize their employment potential.
