This document describes a phototherapy and drama method developed by psychotherapists Ulla Halkola and Tarja Koffert. The method combines using personal photos with participatory drama activities. Participants choose photos and create stories and dramas based on the photos to increase self-understanding and create positive visions for the future. Phototherapy uses photos and photographing to enhance self-awareness, support personal growth, and help people through life crises by accessing memories and perspectives not available through words alone. The method involves small group discussion and sharing of photos, stories, and dramatizations.
PwDI is the national cross-disability organization in Ireland commissioned by the government to promote the rights of people with disabilities and ensure the recommendations of the Commission on the Status of People with Disabilities are implemented. PwDI works to provide a process for people with disabilities to participate in decision making, cooperates with other organizations, and promotes best practices in disability issues. Employment opportunities for people with disabilities have shrunk significantly due to the economic crisis, but supports are available through organizations like FAS that deal with employment and training for people with disabilities. PwDI aims to promote ability rather than disability and has created awareness with over 5,000 employers of the skills people with disabilities can offer.
Vector images contain shapes and curves of different colors, while bitmap images map images into a grid of pixels holding color values. Vector files like EPS and AI are better for illustrations while bitmap files like JPG and PNG work better for photos. GIF is for images with few colors while JPEG compresses photos losing some quality. Embedded images are copied into documents at full resolution, making files larger, while linked images remain independent but smaller. Color palettes determine the number of colors in an image, with smaller palettes in GIFs and larger in JPEGs. Lossless compression stores images using less memory without quality loss, unlike the lossy JPEG format. PNG was created as an improved GIF format and can be used for

The document discusses sheltered work programs and recent changes to expand opportunities and benefits. It notes Poland's National Employment Strategy from 2007-2013 aimed to further develop incentives and support for the employment of disabled individuals.
Graphic files can be either raster images made of pixels or vector images made of mathematical formulas. GIF files support up to 256 colors and use lossless compression, making them suitable for simple web graphics. JPEG files provide full color but use lossy compression, making them suitable for photographs, especially on websites. Images can either be linked and remain separate files or embedded and stored as part of the destination file. Color palettes assign colors to pixels in an image. Lossless compression guarantees the original data can be reconstructed exactly while lossy compression, like in JPEGs, can cause quality loss. Bitmap files have large file sizes and quality issues when resized. Flickr allows online photo sharing and storage between friends and could have academic uses
