The group Des parole dans le vent offers visual arts and dance workshops for people with aphasia.

Words in the Wind brings together aphasic people interested in the arts. Aphasia, which most often occurs following a stroke, can affect speech, comprehension, reading and writing. Since its beginnings in 2002, this organization has not only contributed to breaking the isolation of people with aphasia, but also to raising awareness and informing the population about aphasia and its daily impact.

Welcome everyone !
