Imagine a world where diversity, acceptance, and inclusion prevail and the lack of education around disabilities has been diminished. With Labyrinth of Senses, a disABILITY AWAREness workshop, you will experience a new interactive and engaging way of thinking on disability, while we will create a community of active youth citizens with the goal to overcome the prejudice and misinformation that surrounds people with disabilities with the use of the Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Education) and 10 (Reduced Inequalities). 

Labyrinth of Senses is the main project of KINITRO, an Initiative for Education. The core activity of KINITRO is designing and implementing tailor-made disABILITY AWAREness workshops, under the name “Labyrinth of Senses”. Labyrinth of Senses started its activities already in 2014, promoting education on disabilities, team building, quick and creative thinking, disability and new technologies and many more. It provides all the tools needed for the participant to discover a world where equality, inclusion accessibility, acceptance, and respect prevail.

KINITRO offers Non-Formal Educational training for Businesses, Schools, and other Institutions, on different topics closely related to social rights, through workshops, seminars, and conferences. We already create a safe environment for more than 20.000 people worldwide to interact and learn from each other.
