It saw a turnout of over 100 participants from social work, work therapy, physiotherapy and kinesiology participated.

The second, afternoon set of contributions was intended for the presentations of work explored by the researches at the Faculty of Sports and Faculty of Health Sciences. The researchers participating in the project were particualrly pleased by the fact that the experts in social work, kinesiology, physiotherapy and work therapy recognised our work in the project as something that needs to be included in everyday working practice in individual fields.
